Most of the veterans of the scene will always advise the young guns to swap in a more capable B or H series motor first, then turbo. However, if you are really set on turbo, then just do it. You can run 6 to 7 psi if you tune carefully and drive it responsibly. It'll all be part of your learning experience, and whether it actually comes to pass or not, plan on swapping out your engine in a couple years, either for a larger twin cam, or just to rebuild your D16 after your turbo has wracked your bottom end. Even if you have bad luck with your turbo, and your engine meets a quick, early demise, you will still learn from the experience, and you'll find a way to make it through whatever happens. Don't be afraid of this, or the "I told you so's."
