Sorry Miles I am gonna have to disagree. He did plot out the points but i don't know how valid they are. You say you are looking for reliable in your civic. If you were to go with a junkyard turbo and nothing else you are not going to be as reliable as you think. Non turbo car + turbo = problems if you can't play with it all the time. Turbo cars react well to turbo upgrades and like you said very well to other mods. And trust me nothing is ever fast enough. I drive a honda but am gonna have to say from the sounds of it go DSM.
