Default Boosted B16a Swap...Need Help

So im thinkin about doin a b16 SiR ll swap and boostin it (8-12 psi) on my 99 Civic HX. Im still kinda hesitent on it though and just kinda wondering if its really worth it? Its my first car and I take a lot of pride in it so it would be sad to let it go. I just gotta have have more power but at the same time be reliable. I planned on getting the engine from hmotorsonline, they seem to be a respectable seller, and then getting this turbo kit on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=380038455926. Does this seem like a ligit kit? Thx for the help!

If I were you I would do the swap first and see how you like the feel of a DOHC engine. Then, after enjoying it for awhile and researching the hell out of forced induction, boost it.

hmotorsonline is a very respectable seller, never heard anything bad about their products or their customer service.

Yea that would prob be the most sensible thing to do. Is the difference between the two engines that big of feel in power?
