Default turbo for 97 4dr civic lx

I'm new, so here we go!

Got my civic last yr. It now has 45,000 miles. its a 97. So far, I have cold air intake, by-pass valve, msd ignition, msd wires, uridium plugs, hp headers, full exhaust, magniflow muffler, and a stupid v-force chip that I will take off. The engine is in great condition. I want to go turbo, lowest PSI for safety of internal stock parts. basicly, the engine is still stock. Will the turbo take the virginity of my engine(fast wear & tear)? what else would I have to upgrade? why? Since I dont race, just speed pass a few cars at stoplights, streets, and highways to show off with nothing under the hood, is this wise. I'm just like every other man who wants a fast car, but im not trying to blow my engine over a speed rush. I just want to put some fire up these suped up neon's, hach backs, and accords as*es evry now and then. Come'on give me the pro's and con's John!! (go head, tear me apart)

Or go custom... Larger turbo, larger injectors with hondata would do the trick. T3 60 trim or super 60 trim would be a great start with a nice size intercooler. 450 cc injectors would work aswell. Go to http://www.turbod16.com and look at peoples set ups on that board and decide what you want.

I would prob stick with a kit just to keep things simple. Also, if you are wanting it for street purposes only, T3 is the largest I would go.
