Default need help for my GS

i have a 95 GS integra (not GSR) automatic, and i recently put a intake on it (injen technology), i wanted to know how i could get more tourque and horse power to it. i was either going to get an exaust and or a turbo. but i dont know if by installing a turbo, would that affect the engine in the long run? like would it mess it up? are the chips for the fule and air effective? the other day on the street a 91 itegra took me by like half a car.so since i dont know much about cars i need ur help.

1) a turbo will be a huge project and involve lots of money, time, and thinking beforehand. and the maintenance after it's installed is costly and not easy.

2) i've heard that you shouldnt chip or flash your ecu or tune your car until after you're ready to stop with mods on your car because if you chip now with a bling bling intake and then you put on an exhaust and header, you'll have to do it again because your car will be different. so point is leave your chip alone. if you're going to do it, have it professionally done, i.e. no ebay chips.

3) since it's obvious you're a noob, i'd say sit tight. do header, high flow cat, exhaust. lower it; if you're doing autocross, get suspension bars. while you're doing these, read about your car. go to team-integra.net, sign up, and read everything.

trying my best not to flame you for being a noob. please go read and learn. don't post until after youve searched for your answer. on here and especially on team-integra.net, you will be flamed for it.

A reliable turbo project is going to cost $3000 minimum and that is if you get some hookups here and there. However, do it right the first time, and there should be little maintenance required to keep it running. However, forced induction is probably way over your head at this point.

if you are looking for turbo amounts of performance on your b18b engine, you are going to need a lsd. If you ever want a manual tranny, look for a 5 speed tranny with an lsd already installed. I think you have to change the ecu, but whatever.

Ive read way to much on here, and this is what i learned...

All motor b18b engine is a waste. If you have this engine, the only way you are going to get true power is boost.

If... on the other hand... you just want to impress da hunniez, i/h/e will work just fine.
