you'd need a sick tune, exhaust, and tons of other things. ex) fuel rail, probably new pistons(not sure) you'd need tpo get a better cluthch and fly, suspension. theres no point in having alot of power and you cant get the car moving right. there is a ton of stuff you would need to do in order to add a turbo and have everything working right. i know it would be around 8k-10k+ for my car, i am not sure about yours. then you'd also have to probably pay a professional to install it all

welcome to the life of honda tuning lol, hp costs money and it not cheap, u can get intake a header and catback system and ur still prolly not gunna get more than a 15 hp gain while that will cost around $1g, if its speed u want either save up for a swap or something extreme or sell the car and go for something else

i seen where someone said get an injen intake.

go for a AEM V2 cold air.

i vote it as the best intake alive.

get a big pipe thats furthest away from the engine.
