Well let's see, this are the options you currently have if you want to turbo your car with something that's proven to be reliable
Greddy and AJP (although some people say it's only reliable if you get it installed and tuned by them)
Unless you know a shop/tuner that knows what they are doing, I wouldn't suggest going the custom route and building a kit. 07CivicMD went that route but he was fully supported by Swift Racing with kits that are proven to work on a variety of cars and they have a lot of research done on the topic, and they did it right. They built the engine, they installed it and tuned it themselves, and well, as you can see, that car is a beast and is running very well.
Now, with the Greddy Kit you can reach 300hp but you need one amazing tuner and a bunch of mods (3"DP, 3"Exhaust, bigger injectors, upgraded fuel pump)
If you're within a decent distance from AJP, I would suggest going with them if you're looking to get more than 300hp.
But if you want something that is reliable, then get the Greddy Kit
