In the world of hondas, turbo + cheap = half-assed.

I'm not saying you have to spend every dime you've saved since grade school, but doing the bare minimum "just so it would run" isn't going to give you the full benefit/appreciation of what a boosted honda could, and should be.

I've seen some very fast junkyard turbo cars, who spent next to nothing, except when it came to management. It's a lot cheaper to spend the money and time upfront to make everything work well than it is to fix piddly things several times and the frustration that goes with it.
