So, you would first have to rebuild your engine (and if you are going to turbo, getting it ready would not be cheap). New pistons (to lower the compression), bearings, seals, miscellanious parts, and machine work. 2000 dollars AT LEAST. If you are already going to spend that kind of money, why get a cheap turbo kit? Seems kind of silly to me, i guess...
