Default Should I go Turbo?

I have a 1992 Honda Civic Hatchback CX with a 95 B18B1 Engine and 95 GSR Tranny (Hybrid)

My other Mods are Holley Intake Racing Fuel Pump, B&M Fuel Pressure Modifier, Iceman Cold Air Intake w/ Velocity Air Stack, K&N Air Filter, Accel Racing Ignition Wires, Focuz Muffler w/ 2 1/4" piping... rolling on Primax 16's with BFGoodrich 205/40/16's.... and I am wondering if I should go turbo for my next upgrade... and if I do go Turbo, which turbo should I get (trying to spend as little as possible)...

BTW -- I run 13.6 all motor

i kind of like the greddy kit. i think thay now make one for the ls motor. for around 3k you can get all u need including bigger injectors, intercooler and a pritty good fuel\ignition controler. it seems to be more user frendly than the others for a boost neuby.

Dont get the greddy. They have the lowest power-to-price ratio. Get the rev hard or drag kit. They are decent kits. Just make sure you do some fuel mods (injectors, fuel pump, v-afc hack/hondata). Also, tuning is the key. How's you motor running? A heatlhy stock b18b motor should handle 10lbs with ease as long as it's tuned properly.

initial power vs. cost is not a very good way to compare turbo's. how long does anyone ever stay at that first power level. look at the kits alittle closer and compare how well each one was enginnered, how easy are modifications going to be, and how will the parts stand up to time and raceing.
