I don't know off the top of my head what the compression ratio is for the S52 engine, but would it be low enough to safely boost without worrying about detonation? I drive a crx now, so fragging engines isn't that much of a problem, ~500$ and you're back on the road, but i'm sure a M engine is quite a bit more costly than that.
do the kits you mention include EVERYTHING (big injectors, new software, intercooler, etc), or just a basic kit (turbo, piping)?
the problem with the honda market, is that it's aimed at teenagers, so prices have to be low, and product quality reflects that.

thanks for your extensive and informative reply (even if it was obviously anti-sc :)
