just for your own reference, vtec stands for variable valve timing and lift electronically controlled. obviously vtec only includes valve timing electronically controlled. I'm not giving you crap about it, but I wish somebody would've told me when I was a newbie. anyway,

turbo kits you can buy for around 2-3k, or you can learn about everything, then put one together yourself from scrounged parts. Before you consider doing that though, I would suggest rebuilding your motor for boost. if you do have a b16a3 (which is I think the delsol vtec) then that is a fantastic motor to begin with, but if it has any number of miles on it at all, it would be a very good idea to replace and upgrade things first.

I am still learning all of the finer points of turbo systems and how they interact with the engine, but I do know its not something to just "throw on there".
