i think you'd gain more hp out of a torbo than a h22.

but it also depends how many miles are on your engine as well. there are many other swaps you can put in, what about smog and shit?

whats your budget?

gonna put it in yourself or shop?
around here, i think this guy had a shop put in a usdm h22 and costed over 6k.

but w/ 150k you still have quite a bit of life left.

but of coruse, you can always get the JDM f22b (USDM H23) and turbo that. if you are lucky, you can probably find a complete swap for 600+ ship. then complete a nice turbo kit. sine it is non-vtec it should have a lower compression ratio which should be easier to turbo (less fuck ups)

it is all up to you though.
