Default First Honda ever... General questions...

So I've driven trucks and diesels pretty much my whole life... Being from TX it's how I was raised.... I'm currently getting my transmission rebuilt and needed a cash car to get me around while I waited... Came upon this little 1990 Honda Civic hatchback... Not my typical car but hey, it was 700 bucks, other than it having 240k miles it has no dings or scratches and the interior is pretty much perfect... And it had a freaking turbo in the back seat lol I'm kinda falling in love with the damn thing and it's only been about 2 weeks... I have some questions.... Bc I don't know squat about gas motors.... Let alone how to make them faster... Most of my knowledge is with CUMMINS... So here they are... I want to tune it up.... What all should I do? Once it's tuned I want to prep for a turbo... Don't want to just slap a turbo on without the right components to help the motor keep up... What all should I have before I install the turbo? How do I tell if this motor is even worthy of all the stuff I plan on doing with it? Should I just swap the motor? If so with what? And last but not least... The damn thing has fog lights... Don't know how to turn the damn things on lol thanks guys!!! Sorry so long winded
