There's always hope. But $950 and a $2200 turbo kit for an integra is still a bit cheaper though not by much as you have to pay to convert it to an mtx also. If you were doing the work yourself the integra would be easier and a bit cheaper.

I don't know whats the right answer but a turbo on a stock 2.5SVT is definitely doable as well as a 3L. Also, the stock diff may break but you can upgrade that at the same time. Many people take quite a bit of time to do their projects on this board so they can do up the things that need to be done.

You can buy a quaife equiped trans for around $2K from Terry Haines that will be bullet proof, then figure the $3000 for used turbo hardware, etc.
