Invest the money in something. That way in a couple of years you can buy something better than a turbo setup for an econobox Civic.

My .02

EDIT: You're going to end up spending all of that money you have saved if you decide to do a turbo setup then you won't have any left over for an emergency. Just save.

Well you didnt say which D15 you had, so i guessed the worse

If you want to turbo it then go ahead and turbo it with something small.

why you wonna call d15b people with turbos ricers? What's wrong with that?

If you really want some power I think you can find a b18b motor with a tranny for pretty cheap somewhere and put a turbo on that thing and still prolly end up in your budget. But it's middle of the night and it's just an opinion either way turbo kicks ***
