Default stock internals with turbo?

I have a 97 ex. It has 87,000 miles and im thinking about getting a turbo. I was wondering how many psi i could run safely on stock internals?

alright thanks. How much horse power can i expect from 8psi? And if i get new internals, do i just need pistons, rods, and a new camshaft?

you'll probably have between 180 and 200 somewhere around there and if you wanted to get all new internals you would need pistons, rods, valves and valve springs, retainers, etc.... you get the idea

my friend with the y8 turboed? he runs about 14.5- 14.7 i hung with him in my 96hatch with a b16 swap, cams, and cam gears....we were dead even but hes only been to the track once and he ran three times and he went 14.7 twice and 14.5 once its quick but not for the money he paid for it he bought that greddy kit for 4500 then paid to get it installed i bought my motor for 2500 and put it in myself i think he wasted his money but that motor still has lots of potential so you never know...
