Icon2 getting reado to turbo my SOHC need a little info

hey everyone, i just wanted to ask one simple question

So right now im rebuild my old block to handle boost but i have a turbo kit right now that i want to put on.

The block (D16Y8) that i got in my civic has 60 to 65% leakdown (oil rings going bad). I wanted to know, what could happen in i turbo my civic with that much leakdown, i just want to know how boost feel in my car.
