if you are going to do a turbo, dont bother with a intake and header, just do the exhaust. i would say get a cat back system or start with the suspension first. welcome to the forum.

ok, is it worth turboing a car w/ 114k miles on it though? and how much do most places charge to install full kits? im gonna think about saving for the turbo, it might take me like 2-3 months, so idk if i should get intake and stuff first. hmmmmmm

Its always worth it to boost a civic, these engines last a good long time and they can handle it.
