Is it really worth it to turbo my b18c?

Ok so i got a 92 honda civic with a stock jdm gsr motor and im thinking about turbo but my question is is it really worth it? so far the car has kept me happy but i now got used to the power and i want to be faster so turbo is the next step i have done some things to the car thinking about the possibility of turbo like a stage act clutch and flywheel, walbro 255 fuel pump but now that i am contemplating turbo i wonder if it is worth it. It is not cheap to put a good turbo kit and tune it right so i would like to hear from others with the same motor turboed the pros and cons i know the motor can push up to close to 300whp on stock internals depending on the kit and the tune buf the only thing im worried about is traction i rode in a 2000 si fully built with a big turbo at the time he was running a set up that pushed around 350 at the wheels and car was fast as hell but it kept loosing traction even at high speeds and the car never pushed me back to my seat even though the speedometer was moving so fast. I hear a lot happy turboed drivers but if they could do it all over againg what would they do? what problems did they encouter or what did they have to adjust after the turbo? basically what should i expect or what will i be getting my self into. Thank you i will really appreciate any information.
