Smile Turbo questions

Car: 89 1.5 liter 170k+ miles
Just dropped engine and replaced clutch, water pump, timing belt, ect. pain in the *** but now its running great.
a Turbo charger sounds like an awesome idea, but im not sure if its smart..
What all would i have to end up buying, (like everything) is it hard to install? (compared to what was already done to engine) Could it damage the old engine? Worth it? (not the damaging the engine part, just in general)
Unorganized but anyway, answers to any of these questions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Read the stickies in this thread first. They will answer a lot of your questions.

Yes, it can damage you motor if you do not install it properly. If you would like to have some more power, then yes, it will be worth it. If you do not care about going faster, then obviously it would not be worth it.
