Default to turbo or not to turbo, that is the question

So i finally saved up about 2 grand for my car. Anyway Im thinking about installing a turbo, however my car is pushing 110,000 miles! Is it still safe to put a turbo in the car. I really dont want anything big right now, (8psi is great for me).

Yeah. And you can always do a simple OE rebuild to essentially reset the clock. Talk to Pete... he's boosting a D with 150k+, I believe.

110k is about midlife for a honda. its like turboing at 50,000 on a GM. it wont be bad for your car. if you're really that worried you can go to a junkyard and find parts from a low milage, rear ended civic and use parts out of that.
