RE: kiwi boi with a civic
Hey, welcome to the forum. If you want to add a turbo you should beef up the internals(crank, pistons, conecting rods). You should try getting a Liquid Filled Autometer Tachometer to get accurate revs, make sure you have it calibrated once it's in. To find out your power find a local shop with a Dyno.
