it can be done but realistically if your not doing all the work yourself you'd be looking at upwards of 5 grand easy just to get a turbo installed, cooling, pipeing the works. Then you've got to think about spending all that money to run on low to average boost without major engine work, pistons valves rods etc. Plus a new map on the ECU or better an aftermarket one. Its definitely achievable but you would be better buying a turbo engine, with all the looms and control units and swapping it over.
