Turbo on a Stock B18c with 150k

I know this is going to be crazy...but I wanna try it before I get a dart short block. I am trying to make this last with the turbo on it and was looking for every bit of info I can get on it. Just wanting to push no more than 10 psi on it.
So here goes the first few questions:

1.) What is a good compersion check on this engine? I got 210 all across.
2.) How can I prevent spinning bearings on my rods?
3.) What are some trouble spots I need to look out for?

1. 210 all across is a good result.

2. Keep a good watch on your oil and temperatures, don't rev ridiculously high.

3. If your timing belt and oil/water pumps haven't been replaced, that would be a good place to start. Run an EGT gauge with the probe in your manifold, and a wideband (not a cheap A/F gauge). Get good fuel management, a nice conservative tune, and stay around or under 300 whp.
