Not worth it unless you got yourself a 1800lb hatchback.

GReddy kit = $1500
DSM 450cc injectors + resistor box = $100
Walbro intank 255lph fuel pump = $100
GReddy ProfecB boost controller = $300
Intercooler =$100-400

At roughly 10-12psi, a D16Y8 will make more than 200whp.

Don't give me no "10psi is too much for stock block." That's BS. A lot of people have ran 10psi on stock block.

Costs more than $2K to get 200 NA horsepower out of an ITR engine.

When you guys make comments like Turbo for a SOHC is too much and wont make power you really need to have Experience with a Turbo'd SOHC.

It's all in how you tune it.

My friend ran 12psi on his Stock D16Y8 With the GReddy kit, pulled 210WHP and ran 8's in the 1/8 mile.

That's ****in awesome.
