Vanessa - '96 Plymouth Neon base

ok. here's the scoop, I am getting a new car because right now I have a 1996 plymouth neon SOHC. I am starting to think about keeping it and making it a long drive car, but it's only getting 30 mpg hwy. I've read that the engine itself can handle about 6-8 psi for everyday driving, so in order to not chance the catastrophic engine failure, im looking for a small turbo that will max out at maybe 4-5 psi. will this put me at about 40mpg? because that's what im thinking. and im aware of the inherent cost of a turbo, but im hoping to save that in gas. any suggestions?
