theres quite a bit that you should get as well. you should get a cat-back exhaust, fuel rail, injectors, adjustable fuel pressure regulator (fpr), intercooler (IC), IC piping, and im sure there is more. you NEED to get a fuel controller, some misc. piping and hose clamps and hose connectors, and some kind of filter. i wouldnt turbo a honda without an intercooler, but technically it is optional. thats not a bad setup though,if it goes for anywhere near that much go for it.

not necessarily, if you keep the boost low (like 4-5 psi) then you can keep the stock internals. providing they are in good shape, and the car runs well. but prices are so variable that its hard to say. expect to pay a total of about 2000. yeah its almost as much as a kit, but the quality of the parts will be better than most kits.
