I've got a 97 civic coupe recently aquired this year...unfortunately its already done 160,000 Ks plus by the time i bought it...i'm just toying with the idea of throwing in a turbo..will that be too much stress on my engine considering the work its been put through?

I think the Km's are fine, its just wheather it has been taken care of by the previous owners, regular servicing etc. Get a mechanic to check it out, see if the compression is ok. If all checks out low psi setup is fine. :D
