Iridium is only good if your wiring setup is also good. It starts to show at higher speeds btw.

Headers- sure go ahead. (why didn't you do this before?)
Btw did you get a muffler or an exhaust?

Air intake and exhaust are useless without downpiping and headers on an old Civic, it actually kills off engine power on the lower revs. D16 is not a high compression engine and really doesn't have much of a breathing capacity unless you change the headers and downpipe.

Here's my advice:

4-2-1 headers, 2.5" downpipe, some axelback or catback exhaust. Get some form of engine management like AFC or VFC.

And if you really want a turbo then forget headers and stuff and go for an edelbrock turbo, they're available for your car but are expensive.
