Default Turbo for an 06 EX?

I realize that FI is the best bang for the money, so i figured id look here first when it comes to engine mods. I searched a bit, but havent really found any place that sells a turbo kit for an 06 Ex coupe. I have seen ones for the Si, but none for the EX yet. Can anyone point me in the right direction on this? Also, how much gains are we looking at for a full kit. I realize that it depends on numerous factors including how much boost you run, but if you were to run it on a stock motor with the boost relativly low (as to not affect reliability too much), what kind of estimate would we be looking at. Would you reccomend having a shop do it? or could i do it myself? How much work exactly is involved? Thanks for the help;

during install you may be carless for up to a week, maybe more maybe less... do it yourself you will save a ton of money, and you will learn a lot about your car, during your research phase (a good 2 months minimum) you should find somebody in your area with some knowledge and can help you with the install. install can be a ton of work, or smoothe, depends on how well you piece togeather your kit. you never really know until you begin

full kit on mild boost (5-8psi) your looking at around 170-230whp give or take depending on turbo size / exhaust / manifold / and numerous other factors.

one question, whats the engine code? hard to piece togeather a kit without engine code and i couldnt find it, 1.8L with 140hp 128tq all i know lol... i know nothing about new cars besides the k20s soim kinda worthless lol, i honestly dont even know if they make a kit for the motor.

good luck, hope i helped a little, you got a lot of reading and diggin to do lol

I am looking for the same thing. I have seen some sites that list turbo kits for Civics and under models it says "All", but I know that can't possibly be true. Have not come across anything for anything except the Si. Seems like most manufacturers decided to supply their performance parts for that model only.

If I find anything I will post it here.

I just started searching for mods today since everyone at my work is gone and I have nothing to do.
