Default How much oil with turbo?

I just got done with a turbo install on my '00 civic and I know standard oil changes, I put in 3.8 quarts, which is the recommended amount. I was just wondering how much more, if any, do I add now that there is a turbo. Thanks,

Pfieff

Put in about 4qts to start with, then run the car a minute and cut it off. let it set 10min. and check the level. Add till its at the top dot on the stick and keep it there. I check my oil everyday. I generally burn a qt of oil between changes.
