What an open ended question... It depends on how much boost you want to run. Plenty of other factors such as mileage, etc...

Turbo is DIY for this car. You're better off getting the Comptech Supercharger kit IMO.

If you can keep the boost and power levels low, you can boost on stock internals. All of us have done it, we just get power hungry and damage the engine. So if you can find or build a kit and some engine management, you could start there. Look at some of the turbo threads in the performance parts and mods section to give you a better idea of what's involved.

a device that stops you from turning the car on.

I encourage you to already be disappointed before you go through with it. Not a lot of gains from performance tuning these cars, i wouldn't bother.

There is a turbo manifold in the fs. Just get ready to put up another 2k to make everything work. You won't be disappointed unless u blow your motor. Then you will be plenty disappointed
