Default Turbo Prep

What should I prepare my 94 Accord with 165k for a turbo install? Should I replace the Rods, Pistons, rings, etc... I heard that the compression ratio on my accord is like 8:1 which is perfect for a turbo. Help?

First buy this book "Maximum Boost" by Corky Bell. It explains everything. Then ask yourself if you want to build your own system or buy a kit.
