The Stafford Fabrications turbo kit bolts right up to the 7thgen civics. The kit is $2900 and makes awesome power, and has the most upgrades for making more power later on.

Yeah. You can as long as you have a manifold and downpipe that is flanged to fit whaterver turbo they are using.... and that you have enough clearance between the block and the fans (you probably don't have to worry about that... I'm sure those cars use smaller turbos). Then you need piping that will fit up to the compressor inlet and outlet. That's just the turbocharger. Then you have to worry about fuel, intercooler, intercooler piping, oil lines, blow off valve, etc etc.

There is a lot more to a turbo system then just a turbo. Remember that.
