Mods before getting turbo

Hi,
I am just wondering if there are any mods I should do before I get a turbo for my car. I have a 04 civic LX. SOHC. Currently I don't have any upgrades. just wondering what I should get first.
Thanks

You actually don't need any mods to run a turbo besides the turbo kit. You can run a turbo kit off a stock exhaust, stock internals, no gauges. It's not smart, but it can be done..

I feel like an ***, but since no one else has said it.. search..

oh yea, and welcome to the site buddy.
