I assume you mean a single turbocharger since it is virtually impossible to twin turbocharge a 4 cylinder. If it comes as a kit specifically designed for your civic and does not require that you change much on your motor, it probably won't "hurt" it but will probably reduce its longevity. Try a different motor or a different car if you want more power, since no civic motor to date is very good for turbocharging. Also, if you still have a warrenty on it, turboing it will certainly void the warrenty.

It will and it wont, if you keep it at a low boost of around the 7psi it wont put to much more strain on the internals.
If you are thinking of turboing it, you should consider a supercharger as well. This will have less strain on the motor as it is constant power, and not forced on at a certain rev range.
What ever you decide as long as you dont boost it up you will be fine, but I assure you once you boost it you will start to see problems sooner rather than later.

If you can afford a turbocharger then the cost of rebuilding a motor should not be concern.

It shouldn't hurt it if the turbo is tuned the right way, Also if the motor is built for it it should be fine.
