Default Turbo yea

Ok well after doing a lot of research and wanting to go N/A I decided I am going to turbo my 91 lx I have most of the stuff picked out I just need to get a complete list and start ordering parts but I was wondering what you guys think about this....I am aiming for 300hp with about 80k miles I am almost positive but am I going to be good on stock internals? (tuning is not an issue here)

you will make about 280-300 with a good tune with the parts you have. That will be enough power to run with if not walk on stock STI's...good luck!

It is all in your tune... If you have a great tune, the motor should last a while... How much boost are you planning on running???

I have a great idea for you, comp turbos make an oil-less turbo, you should get one of those because it you wont have to run oil lines or anything like that, just water lines. I am buying one for my mr2. but you will also need injectors, fuel pump, water lines, as well as a bunch of little stuff

You need to put it up high on the pan so it will function properly...also to decide which side, just look at the direction the line is coming off of your turbo and just use that side... Also FYI you really need to tap a bung in for you oil return... If u try to go the easy way out u will at some point have a leak...and the eBay stainless lines are just as good a any other, just upgrade the fittings on them... I use all AN fittings with welded in bunga...lemme know if u get any more questions
