If you have the patience you can make a turbo kit yourself.

time consuming aint it? fun tho! you have a shop or a fabricator? hows that turbo coming? i was giving serious thought into going all out with a turbo and a 6spd swap...but im just gonna get an NSX and go all out on that. keep the CL blown @ 6psi as a DD.

^ not sure yet. i met up with the owner yesterday and he is planning on building a few kits if there is any interest. so the more interest the less the cost. my car will be the test cl-s. he does have a prototype kit on his accord/j32a2 and that thing moves when he took me for a drive.
