to get 200whp out of a d16 N/A would be Very expensive.. i doubt it would be a d16 after all that

turbo would be your only choice.. and it wont be cheap

a swap is really a cost efficient way to start it off

most people start off saying NA only because at that time they dont have the fundage to drop 2 grand on a turbo kit, but the truth is NA is very expensive to stay competetive, so i would buy a base model greddy turbo kit with intercooler and BOV, cause it comes with all the shit you need and ride out and be happy

Screw the brand name kit.14b on 15lbs with a hf/plate setup.Some rc's,walbro,and a vafc for fuel management.Tuned and under $1200 spent and i can pretty much guarantee over 220 hp.
