Well I just wanted to give you my quick opinion on one of the things you asked about. You said you could only get a couple more things on top of the turbo...forget the turbo timer-just let your car cool down before you shut it off. Running a turbo on a vtec is not a problem. Running a turbo on an automatic shouldn't be a problem cuz I've seen turbo's on lots of autos(but I can't be 100% sure if it's ok) As far as what else to do...at least a fuel pressure regulator, prolly a fuel rail, boost gauge(unless it comes with the kit

) Do you have anything done to it now?
