You are right, it is a 4 cylinder engine.
Granted, it is on forums, but it seems like lots of people are adding turbos with no ill effects. Granted these are people adding turbos with just a couple of psi of boost, just for the fuel economy/noise reduction/bragging rights. As the descenting vote, I would value your opinion on weather you thought a low boost set up would be safe/would have any benefits to FE.
