What would I do? Sell that car and use the money that you would have spent on a turbo (5K at least) and buy an 03 or newer V6 Accord...240hp vs 150hp, that's going to be the best bang for your buck, and you can't get any more reliable than that. That's seriously going to be the best way to get 90 extra reliable horses.
Ditto...

Else I would leave the engine completely stock and focus your efforts on the chassis solely. It's got a solid chassis, you can very easily improve the feel of this car aound town with some choice suspension mods. And you won't spend near the same outlay of cash.

Fast turbo 4dr?, should have purchased a WRX or EVO, or even a 1.8T or 2.0T Audi A4.
