Depends on your definition of worth it.will it be quite a bit faster?of course but will it still lose to other cars?of course.it depends on how much money you are willing to spend and if you actually know what you are getting yourslef into.if you think you are just going to buy the kit and slap it on and that's it then no I suggest you don't.just search search and search some more and when you think you have searched enough, you haven't so search more.I spent about a total of 4 hours searching for info when deciding if I should go F/I when I decided to not mess with it.also post in the right section.

You have a 9 year old engine, that even in its present state, is delivering twice the hp output compared to some Prelude engines of the past. If you care about the longevity of your engine, then you would be well advised to refrain from installing something on your 9 year old engine like a turbo that will further stress the engine and shorting its life.If you don't take care of your engine , you could end up with a habitual oil burner and end up having to search the INTERNET for fixes like the one in the link below to prod your poor engine on for a few more years.

Best advise on this forum is to ignore anything SH DRIVER says.
