mileage question

Forum: 

i might sound dum but i realy want to know how to read the odometer on my rocky. its actually reading 43232.8 but the last number(8) is spinging while i am driving, so that means that it actually got only 43,232 mileage on it or actually realy has 432,328 mileage on it. and my other question is is this the type of odometer that when it gets to certain number of mileage it kicks back to zero(0). please advise thanks.

turbo question

Forum: 

hello and sorry but i am new to daihatsu rocky. i would like to increase the hp on my rocky and would probably will be doing a turbo on it so my question is besides the daihatsu turbo can i fit any other turbo kit on it or is it just strictly daihatsu turbo and my other question is will the engine and all its components handle the turbo? OHH by the way i currently have a 1987 daihatsu rocky 2.8 2765cc non turbo and would like to fit a turbo in it. thanks in advance.
