well greddy has a nice turbo kit for the d-series motor you can go and get the motor worked for the turbo and run high boost. but of course your not going to get the same results as getting the b18 swap plus the turbo but it'll be close.

yeh well theres different turbos and stages. i reccomend the t3t4 turbo and stage 3 set up for a goooooood performance from the d-series motor. but yeh ebay is your best bet or look around the streets you never know what you can find.
