I Want To Turbo, But Is It Worth It All?

I really am in a bind here guys, i want to make sure that i'm doing what is botht eh best for me and for my honda. Is it possible to turbo the D-17 out of a 2003 Honda civic DX. I know, i know...not an ex...i'ma cheap *** o.k.?!?!? I want to know if it is even find-a-ble, i can't find a good turbo or even "A" turbo for my motor that is street legal. I live in Sacramento Cali buy the way, so cops will crucify me for an illegal turbo. I'm looking at the grim possibility of a swap....K20...DUN DUN DUN!!!! (dramaticly spoken)

Lemme know guys, i need some love here!?!

there are several turbo kits out there and none of them or carb or street legal out there... dezod is in the process of trying to get the kit legal but it might take some time....

theres nothing wrong with buying a DX... LX and DX's have the exact same motor the only difference is the options that come with the car... DX with either a turbo kit or swap would be lighter therefore faster than the EX or LX because of power to weight ratio...

Search turbo kits like the new DEZOD kit or TSI... if not... there are a lot of threads on this board talking about how to peice together your own...

i'm pretty sure you're about to get bbq'd by some of the members on this board so i'll save you the embarassment and lock this...

good luck..
