Default 88 accord turbo

I have an 88 Accord and I want to put a turbo on it to give it a little bit more power. What do i need to get to put it on?What kind of boost is best so the motor doesnt blow up?What parts are required to put a turbo on my car? About how much does this cost?

cost would be quite high, esp seeing most parts would have to be custom fabbed, you would need turbo, manifold, charge piping, possibly intecoolerl, engine management etc. motors that old probably couldnt take much boost. and is it carburated? that brings a whole new problem into the mix

honestly not worth it

maybe easier to supercharge it, because you wouldnt have to make a custom manifold, but still expensive

your not going to be able to find one made for your car, or anything made for your car for that matter, you would have to buy one and make it work.

you could get nitrous and just shoot it into the carburator that would be easy and alot cheaper than turbo or a supercharger.

and no the electric ones are garbage
