I would say the main turning point for Amir is witnessing Hassan getting raped by Assef.

He was not brave enough to help him or even admit that he saw it happen, which stayed with him forever.

This event also contributed in causing Amir to rescue Hassan's son from the Taliban group Assef was in towards the end of the book.

The inciting incident of "The Kite Runner" is when the main character, Amir, witnesses his close friend and half-brother, Hassan, being sexually assaulted by a bully, Assef, and does nothing to intervene. This event sets off a chain of guilt, betrayal, and redemption that drives the story forward.

the Climax of the story is when Assef and Amir started to fight and the little boy shot Assef in the eye.

That was the turning point of the story
