recommendations please?
OK..I've been thinking and I have no idea where to start with modding my baby. well I got a turbo and I am scared of putting it in and blowing my shit considering I dunno how much psi the motor can hold. so 1 questions is how much psi could a D16A hold?
I want another exhaust the one I have is fucking annoying, loud, and it stinks. Any recommendations on a exhaust?  I am looking best sounding and not too fucking loud but sounds good enough, so that when i am rolling in neutral its not like i am redlining 3rd gear.
air intakes lag turbos?
and shopping for this motor, since its jdm, I dunno where to look could I have some sites or something, I dunno what should be my next reference?  there must be a difference between a d16a and a u.s d16. help a brother out, any criticism on how noob i am can be taking as long as your helping me out. it would be greatly appreciated.

Have the turbo installed professionally to prevent blowing the motor.

Buy a DD. I bought a supercharger for mine in 2001,
since I wanted the baddest-ass SC Sol in the world! 
I figured: if you don't drive it too often, didn't "rag" on
it, and maintained it properly, everything's cool. I've
recently been buying internals, (not cheap), to make it
"bulletproof" before I get it all together, but this shit's
expensive, but worth it, IMO. That's why I suggest the
DD. I got the SECOND DD, (Honda Wagon), to drive
when the Nissan's being repaired/serviced, but that's
another story. My next, hopefully last, internal will be
CP 10.5:1 forged pistons. Well, I forgot the new head
that I planned to get portflowed for the SC.  I
guess that's why I suggest a DD, or two. 
Exhaust: My Tanabe is decent: Tanabe Super Medalion Hyper Spec Never heard of that...everything I've read said short intakes are best for FI.
I'd get a B16 or B18 myself. I bought my D16 new, and
it's a "mission" with me!

Well, I recently bought this: Crower Cams & Equipment
With a spring/Ti retainer kit, (nessesary), the bill was
close to/over $700.00.
And the rods: Crower Cams & Equipment
Just depends on your passion for that "certain" car. Or
lunacy..."Got to keep the loonies on the path."...HAHA!

King Motorsports Unlimited, Inc. is the main (only licensed?) Mugen dealer, but has some other JDM shit. Never bought from
them, so I can't "recommend" them.
INLINEFOUR.COM - Mon.~Sat. 9:30am~6:30pm PST - 7242 Garden Grove Blvd. Westminster, Ca. 92683 They are THE SHIT!,
IMO. They aren't the cheapest, but their prices ARE competitive, and your shit is delivered quick and intact.
They sell JDM, but only have a limited selection.
Auto Accessories, Performance Car Parts, Import&Domestic @ Modacar Auto Accessories Again, a good place to buy. And, again
kinda' limited in JDM offerings.
Maybe just type "JDM PARTS" on google and click on
"I feel lucky"? The last two I go to often, and they rock,
at least for USDM. I don't think there's a difference with
the D-16 anyway.  I've read that a lot of Integra
parts are interchangeable? Maybe just for the B-16?
