Default 02 si - suggestions?

I bought a 2002 civic si last year and am thinking about putting on a turbo kit, among other mods, and am definitely a noob when it comes to tuning cars. I've heard that to turbo a k20a3 safely I would probably want to go w/ forged pistons and maybe camshaft... any suggestions? btw, I'm planning on keeping it pretty much as a daily driver, so I'm not planning on going too overboard. Suggestions from someone with k20 experience is greatly appreciated.

OK, forgive me for being naive, but I am trying to learn what my best options are for turbocharging my 02 si. I apologize ahead of time for asking some incredibly stupid questions that are pretty much inevitible. I'd really like some opinions, thanks.

Start with these.. Read them through, twice, and you'll have a much better understanding of the basics. These will almost definitely answer all your initial questions.
