hmm....not sure about how much extra a turbo would make as compared to spending the same amount of money on a B18C swap. Some come with a new tranny. I can't remember if my friend's did. He got a B18C motor, front axles, harness and I think the tranny for like $3100 off of a web site. But if a turbo would add a lot more power, then go for it. But I figure that your '96 motor might be getting a little tired, considering you might add forced induction to it. But I'm not a mechanic, never claimed to be...so I don't know much. Just my 2cent.
