if ur on a budget just get a turbo kit for it and a d16y8 head and do a mini me swap and turbo it. cheap thrills =D
What do you mean by a mini me swap? just swapping the head? do you have a pricing range estimate for it?

like 2slo4u said, you dont need to worry about an intake if your going the boosted route. You also wont need to worry about spending money on a intake manfold because at your power levels your not going to see any gain.

Honestly, if your not looking to pour a good chunk of change into the car, then going turbo isnt the best idea. Your only going to have issue after issue with the automatic trans.

I found a link about this guy saying that d15b7 engine can have a Garrett T3 DIY Custom Turbo Kit, comes with turbo manifold, turbo and wastgate for around 600 bucks
And they said they could run around 6-7psi.
The exhaust for my car is small, and they were recommending to change the whole exhaust system.
And one guy mentioned about lower compression pistons, intercooler
Also, recommended to get a d15y8 head?

heres the link to what I was reading
