lookin good. i like the fact that you actually used both exhuast holes in that kit. a lot of ppl don't do that. so when you gonna at least put a sri on there? and with the exhuast did you do a catback system or just the muffler?

well you won't be able to just buy a turbo kit for your car. you'll have to piece one together. and SRI = Short Ram Intake or you could go with CAI = cold air intake. and definately go with a cat-back exhuast. go with 2inch piping. and get that second tip connected too b/c i'm sure you can tell that ones not hooked up when one gets dirty and the other is still shining after driving for a while.

you should be able to take a cold air intake from a 1994+ integra and just cut off a couple of inches on the piping to make it fit. you can find one cheap off of ebay. or for the short ram just go to autozone and buy one for a 1992 civic and cut off a few inches as well.
as far as turbo just look on this site and you should be able to get a good idea on what parts you would want and such. also understanding the mechanics of a turbo is a plus to help you in your search. i forget the name of the book but theres one out there at like hastings that teaches you everything you need to know about turbos.

well they probably won't work together really. your air filter will be by the turbo itself and then it'll go through some piping to your intercooler then the piping to your intake is connected to the other end of the intercooler. you might be able to connect your cai to the intercooler but thats the only way it'll work together but then it won't be a cai any more just piping.
