These mods must be conducted by either their staff or an approved business. This costs a bit more but you keep all of your factory warranty. Scion has a turbo system they can install, that or a SC, on the stock motor and all warranties are still retained.

Might be something to do some looking into because why buy a car with a nice warranty if you are just going to void it?!
Honda's policy fall is line with most auto makers, if they can probe the mod caused the failure, then they will not replace it. So if the turbo bent a rod, then honda would say your SOL, but if your TPS fails, then they would have no problem replacing it.

As for the turbo, my suggestion is do some research into turbo sizing, look at compressor maps and see what fits well with your HP goals. There are many turbos that would fit or work, but without knowing your goals we would have no clue.

Ok, here... If you still plan to do this to the MUGEN Si, considering it is STILL a STOCK Si engine, maybe look towards companies that make a turbo setup made for your model Civic in Si trim.

Example:
