Take also into account that just slapping on a turbo may do more harm than good. Engines with fuel injection should have their computer remapped to account for the higher intake pressure (=more oxygen). Also, an engine not built for turbo may not be able to handle greater pressures and torque. This goes for manifolds, valves, pistons, transmissions, etc.
