Default Turbo install question

I have a 1995 Civic Ex coupe
I am putting a new motor in my car tomorrow and a turbo.
Should I put the new motor in first, then install the turbo?
OR...
Should I put the turbo on the motor first, then install motor with the turbo already on it?

What turbo? Do you have an intercooler?

Mods move this to the FI forum please.

dont install the turbo for 1500 miles. that way if something is wrong with your car, you will know if it is turbo install related...

The motor has already been broken in. Do I still need to install the motor first, then the turbo?
I will be starting this afternoon.

if you have ac and the shroud in. install the turbo after the motor. if you have all that **** removed you can install it before. also i dont know about yall but it is a bitch to mount the turbo to the manifold. so i would try to install the turbo to the manifold before you put the manifold on the block. hope that helps
