Read up on turbos. Honestly, that 600 is what it's gonna cost you to get tuned with that turbo kit.
I'd get clutch, flywheel, tires, motor mounts and fill your tank up.If you wanna be a little quicker, and then you have a platform to build upon. Like I said, thats just me, either htat, or save the money.

Re: B16 Turbo or N/a
yea if you want to do anything buy a LS block and throw your head on that. as far as spendin money with no job, id wait til you start workin, unless you have someone paying insurance and givin you gas money every few days. but as far as daily driver, once you do get a job you want sometihng that isnt gonna cost alot to keep running and have more risk of breaking shit when you are out on the weekend racing. just my opinion. LS-Vtec crx i think would be pretty quick

Mainly after the kit gets on, keep a eye on vacuum lines, oil level, and the exhaust. It's not hard at all. ( I've never owned a turboed car, but I've been very close, and my brother has owned a couple, and I've had my hands on several turboed Hondas. )

Re: B16 Turbo or N/a
in all honesty, turbo solves the problem of power, but creates so many many more problems. besides, with only 600 bucks you cant do much, and have to start cutting corners with turbo shit, which is the last thing you need/want. Just save your money...
