Just ask him how his car will run at 180,000 miles. I would bet it will be in the junk yard. Hondas will outlast any american made car. Here is the deal. I would turbo it, only putting 5-7 psi to it, also make sure A/F is set right. This will be good enough to smoke his ass, and your car will still run easily into the 100,000 miles mark. The question you need to ask, is why it would break down. Hondas, have strong internals, so if you keep up with the maintence, ie. change oil regularly, keep fluids up etc. You car won't break. Just don't get all happy that you have extra power, and push more psi to the turbo. Then you will blow it up. Keep it low but satisfying, and your car will last you probably past the point you don't want it any more. Good luck
