For the most part, Honda + Turbo = baaaaaad. Honda engines have always been designed to be a high-revving NA motors, usually with high compression to make more power NA, and high compression is not a good thing to add boost to.

Personally, if you really want to turbo a car, hold out for a Nissan 240sx and do a turbo motor swap on ii....you would have lots of 4-cyl turbo motor choices (SR20, CA18), and theres even a few 240's running around with inline 6 turbo motor swaps (RB20, RB25).....
