looking for a turbo setup
i am looking into purchasing a turbo kit for my 97 civic ex. my budget is going to be around $1500-$2000 and i was wondering what is needed to put the 15g kit (92-95) on my 97? is it worth it to spend the extra 5 bills to up to the 19t kit? will there be a big jump in hp between teh 15g and 19t? also what other kits are out there that will fit on my 97 within my price range?
if i went the rout of gathering my own parts for a custom kit could someone please list the parts i will need for a reliable daily driven setup.

Look at the Greddy Kit, they dont come with an IC, but they are about $1500 for your year civic. Check out www.city-speed.com Thats where I got mine from for my 99 EX

Yeah, but OBD2 has a little more stuff that comes into effect later. Like the damn O2 sensor on the cat 
When i was lookin into gettin hondata, the price difference between obd1 and obd2 was a couple hundered bucks....Personally I think Greddy has one of the best kits for its price around, for a D16Y8 (99-00) it was arond $1700, w/o IC, but you can get an IC at any junkyard CHEAP
