I'd say no, but it's all personal preference right? Some people don't like swapping, other's see it as essential. Assuming you got a 25-30hp turbo, you'd see maybe 120-130 max? Without any other modifications. For the amount of money and trouble it'd be worth, I'd still say no. I'm waiting till I can afford to do a swap, even with just a swap you'd probably be pushing more power than the D15 with the turbo...

nah not true at all...first question is the d15 vtec or is it a d15b7? ...if its the vtec model its already at like 115 - 125 horse power.. and u cant jus slap the turbo on it...it would require building it, low comp pistons, new fuel injectors for higher flow.. with a good stage 1 clutch and a few other mods u can get a good 250 hp out of that d15 ... good luck id love to see a write up on this

Ehh iv seen stock setup turbos running 8-9psi with stock internals. Buddy of mine is running a similar setup and its been running for about 2yrs now. But either a swap or if you want to stay with the d-series (aka cheap route) you should find yourself a d16a6. Probably close to the best d-series engine you can find. Pretty sure people on here already know that the A6 block has the steel gurdel(sp?) as far as the rest of the d-series engines they have the aluminum ones. Just my 2cents
