Civic EG

ok so whats gona be more cost effective here for bang for the bucks? turbo or n/a? if turbo what needs to be replaced ive found a few kits to run on standard internals apparently but im not sure how true this is. basically i want to run decent power either way and money isnt too much of a worry up to about 2-3 grand and ide like to do as much of the work as possible myself so any advice would be greatly appreciated cheers

A turbo wil give you the most power for your money by far!

But i know nothing about which kits good etc so cant say which one to go for

ok then so more research then. what about in terms of reliability? how much psi can i run safely n how long will it last on standard internals?
how much bhp can i squeeze out of the engine in n/a form also i want it to rev higher but how high will it rev with tuning and a remap/chip?
