Lightbulb First steps in adding a turbo

Hi my name is justyce and i am new on here. I have a 1996 civic, Lx, 5spd. I would like to add a turbo. But i am not sure what i need to do before i get one (if i need to do anything) I dont want anything to crazy i am thinking about 7psi. And i would like to know what kind of turbo to get that isnt to crazy (price wize) and ii was wondering about how much the hp would increase?

Thanks

Yup. I don't understand why everybody refuses to search anymore, especially when it's something like a basic turbo system that's been covered countless times. Personally, I take people refusing to search as a personal insult; to me, it says "my time is more valuable than yours, and while you spent time doing research on the same thing to learn, I don't feel I should have to."

I know, but figuring he didn't click the one you gave him, I figured he would skip right over it and not click that one either.

i say the first thing you do is get a y8 intake manifold and then go from there.
