Is it worth putting in your car? well thats a option you choose, if your chosing it just for the "psssss!" to show off the timmies boys y0! then NO....You have to think wether you want to go through with turbocharging your vehicle and costs and etc btw...S-E-A-R-C-H...it will help you because there are tons of threads on turbos

financially it's not worth it
if you have money to waste and want to have fun and deal with a few more problems in your life, then yes, it is worth it
budget from a couple to a few g's, depending how particular you like to be about things

i think that you need to research quite a bit more.
Boostin a car that already has a CR of 10.2:1 is iffy. If you just plan on boostin 6-8psi then its ok, but whats the point?
A good, reliable, powerful turbo setup will cost upwards of $4000 easily. Allow 1/3 of your budget for tuning.....tuning is key.

Definetly worth it. But don't cheap out on the Fuel management and Spark Requirement's. If you spend a good $4000 you'll have a realiable set-up that can be used and abused everyday. You can do a Turbo set up for half that but you'll be skimping out on saftey precaution's. Its your engine you decide.

junk yard turbo + some good tuning
you'll get quite a bit more reliable power
junk yard turbo will cost u like 800 or something.. and then just invest another 500 and get it well tuned
you don't need to dish out 4000 or 10000 (<-- wtf) for a reliable turbo

I 100% agree.

yup. Like i said before tuning is key. With a properly tuned engine running 10 psi bone stock is not abusing it. When tuned its acts as if it was boosted from the factory....without, or with crappy tuning or cheap methods of tuning (FMU and retarding timing at dizzy) then you are asking for trouble.
Do it right the first time so that you don't have to spend $10,000 doing it.
Don't laugh....$10,000 is not at all unrealistic. Think....$4000 for the turbo kit, $5000 building as engine that can see 20psi and laugh at it, and $1000 for tuning (hondata plus dyno/wideband o2 time) theres $10,000 if not more easily. But you gotta pay to play.
