Compression and leak down tests will answer that question.

Yeah you wonna try, I wonna see a video of the test drive. Why is my wastegate not opening up, why did my piston bunch thru a block? It will defently make a nice video, go ahead with your 20psi.

I would say you could turbo the motor but first check the compression.

Of course you could turbo it. Look at all the DSMers out there with original engines in their 1G 91 TSI's and GSX's. AND THAT'S A DSM! Come on... a Honda can take it. My vote's for boost. Maybe you should make it into a poll instead.

Does the engine run strong?

As everyone else said do a compression test and leak down test and figure it up.

Also, since your new heres the forced induction forum:
