Default Need helps on turbo

Hello Everyone~~
I am a newbie in here~~
I am planning to install a turbo on my car.
I have a Honda CIVIC COUPE LX 2003 1.7L
I have take a look on the ebay...but most of it are for SI or CRX
but kind of confused b/c it has a lot of information that i don't understand

Do you guys have any website that you recommend for me to buy the turbo kit ?
what kind of turbo kit should I get ? (I am looking for the speed when I take-off )
Is there going to be have a lot of technical problems after installation?
I want to spend about 2000~2500
is this budget ok to get a turbo or I need to spend more ?

thanks so much

Turbo kit = a lot of fabrication and a lot of money.

Even worse, there are very little if any "kits" for your car.

Here is something you could use... but I wouldnt run '20psi' with the e-manage provided or use the iridium sparkplugs.

WOW. That fully built D17 motor looks amazing Remmy, except it dosent come with a turbo . Pretty dang expensive too but if it had the turbo w/it it would be a better deal- but wow w/a turbo and that motor that would be insane
