Default Turbocharging a OBDO B16a

I would like to turbocharge my 91 civic with the 1st gen OBDO B16a swap.
I heard that I would have to convert it over to OBD1, which means id have to change the ecu distrubutor and god knows what else, Would i be able to put a turbo on the engine without converting it over? The ecu used two O2 sensors which could pose a problem.....any that has input would be of great help: ) Thanks alot as you can tell im a little new when it comes to that type of stuff, however this site has helped me learn alot of stuff and there is alot of great people willing to share there knowledge.

you could turbo the engine staying obd0 using turboedit. the problem with turboedit is its so out dated, everyone has converted over to obd1 and now uses crome. crome is much more easier and many people/tuners know how to use is properly. a 40 dollar conversion harness from ebay and really any manual obd1 ecu and your good, also along with the proper distributor too. many prefer the p28 because its already socketed for vtec. i on the other hand am using a pr4 ls ecu chipped because im running obd1 on a turbo sohc zc(near future swap,being built now).
