Per your comments in your CAI thread; if you have an automatic and you want a turbo, I highly recommend you sell your car and buy an otherwise similar one with a manual transmission before you start the process of adding forced induction to the engine.

going turbo on a h22 will cause you to spend quite a bit of money to do so.
you have 2 options

1. re-sleeve your block and run forged rods and lower compression pistons then add your turbo kit (will cost you quite a bit)

2. run lower compression malhe gold h22 pistons. No need to re-sleeve but will limit you to how much boost you can run.
