I think a lot of people here will tell you not to mess up a perfectly good vx by adding a turbo. Maybe it would be wise to pick a different civic to start with. I believe from what I have read cx's have the same or about the same gear ratio as a vx. Then you could add a turbo engine to that car.

As for my personal opinion you dont need a lot of power to deal with agressive/ congested traffic. I use to drive my 1988 nissan sentra hatchback with only 70 hp on the freeway at 75mph without any issues.

I beleive you need to work on "adjusting the nut behind the wheel" first. This tatic is the single most important change for improved FE.
