   ive been researching this recently there are two ways to do it... either...
   
   1. you will need to modify the manifold downpipe and stick something like a R5 turbo on that (this is the bolt on version) don't forget the intercooler. or....
   Cost: 200 - 600
   
   2. modify the cylinder head to put an outlet on for the turbo and add a 5th injector, change the pistons, modify the sump with an oil return and loads of other fiddly bits
   Cost: 1000 - 10,000.....
