Here's a kit for your car (4 cylinder):
http://www.overboost.com/obs/product...e=Turbo%20Kits

Adding a turbo is expensive. You will probably need to modify other things to get it to run properly. For example, boost will put more pressure on the engine rings and seals, so you may need to upgrade those if you want to run 15# or more. Otherwise, your engine will just leak a lot of oil. Turbos need nice clean cool oil, so add or upgrade an oil cooler. However the kit is $3300.
It would probably be much cheaper and easier to buy a turbocharged car and tweak it.

where do you live? find a shop to make you a custom turbo kit. those fmax and drag kits suck and are $$$ when compared to a quality custom kit. of course it all depends on the shop.

this is the place i reccomend www.trickengineering.com

Yep you can turbo your car lowball cost will be about $1500 and it climbs from there.

I'd just do a swap and build from there but then thats just my opinion.

And you will probably have to Get it professionally installed, unless you know alot about your engine.
