Default precautions for turbo charging my civic...

Im looking into buying a T-25 Turbo and the essentials to complete the kit, manifold, downpipe, adapter plate, etc... However I do know that when you boost a car as drastic as a turbo the rest of the stock parts cant handle it. What types of things should I look into before buying the turbo. Spark management I read is one but could not find too much online. Sorry if this is too general, relatively new with the turbo... Any advice would be wonderful thanks! BTW this is for my 92 honda civic lx sedan in the process of buying headers (recomendations for brands would be welcomed too) seen a lot of good ones cant decide! have greddy catback exaust and cold air intake its a slow process even slower when you are in highschool and cant work that much to do school... haha well I appreciate all help and links to where I can read up on the things mentioned... Probably should work on a new cam too huh... agh so many things to do! THANKS AGAIN!

well I'd re-think the headers you're purchasing since they'll be useless once you get that turbo manifold. The only thing you'll really have to worry about with your turbo is fuel management and tuning. You're stock ignition and internals will be fine probably up to about 10psi with a good tune. Good luck, do your research , and welcome to boost. You'll love it.
