If you're going turbo, you shouldn't have bought the CAI and the header. If you want to continue on just bolt ons, you can install some Energy suspension motor mount inserts. Then, you can buy a hi flow cat with Casper's O2 sensor simulator. After that, you can do a Hondata reflash. Work on your suspension is always a plus, 22mm rear sway bar (some options to choose from). Full coilovers or springs, don't be ghetto so don't cut or heat them. If more power is what you want, you can do a K20A2 head swap and if you want, you can also drop in the 6 speed transmission or you can just swap in the whole K20A2. I'm sure there's more but I'm done writing.

I think you should use the seach function on this board, and over at http://www.ephatch.com before you do/buy anything.

Pick up kids with that van.

First mod should always be suspension.

TURBO is never a bad choice, it is the best thing in the world

I agree With "mhx".... with the mods you have i would definately go with the supercharger. Or a head swap could be a good idea too
If you were to get a turbo that header would've been a watse of $...but with the supercharger you'll still get a horsepwer gain from the header
That's what I'm planning to do

With the turbo, you're replacing parts you already spend hundreds of dollars on. Go with SC.
