Default I need some help here

Ok I want to turbo my civic but I'm not sure if I can. I have the stock D16y8 motor. I have my suspension rebuilt and an aftermarket act clutch. Will my car be able to handle a turbo? And if so any recommendations on a cirtain kit?

So, you're driving a stolen car?

no....but when I first got it you could tell something was up. My rear bumper had red paint on the underside, my truck had some blue paint, and my hood was a lighter blue. Anyways I changed my post to fit the rules...sorry for the confusion.

Yes, your car could handle boost, anything over 6psi I would consider uprading the internals.

Yeah, if anything get a camshaft and that'll give you some extra top end power.

first thing I would do is run a carfax on your car and make sure if you put money into it that it doesn't get returned to the correct owner.
