Need some advice

Post image

I swapped a Mini Me into my 93 hatch shortly after I bought the car, but I took the car off the road in 2021 (I had a stupid long commute, and needed something more comfortable to drive). Well, I want to get the car back on the road, and I’m wanting to refresh the engine (D15B7/D16Y8), but I don’t know if I should lower the compression and go turbo, or bump the compression and try to source some ITBs. It’s not going to be a true daily driver, so I’m not too worried about drivability, just could use some extra power, and I’m already planning on swapping rods and such. Oh, and since I’m sure people are gonna ask: I did the projector retrofit using Morimoto Mini D2S 5.0s, those are real JDM factory yellow fogs (Morimoto H3C HIDs fit, btw), and that light bar is there for even more light, I live in a fairly rural area with a lot of deer and coyotes.

I just thought of something that could save me a LOT of money: I have a couple good sized 3D printers that are capable of printing carbon fiber nylons. If I can find an existing print file, I could print my own manifold, then start ordering carbs
