there is a whole sub forum with most of the answers you are looking for.
just looked up and saw an fmu. thats antiquated tech. i think for a few bucks more you can do better.

i just installed a kit my friend paid 500 for, the diaphram is ripped in the wastegate, + 235, turbo is wasted, passing oil, 250 for the rebuild, fernco couplings instead of silicone, 60, right there is 1000. it has a drag intercooler, it will work, not great but will work.

put a little time into looking to see whats out there.

just remember this:
cheap - reliable - fast
you only get to pick 2.

so in conclusion, yes you can boost the engine, and please read the fi forum.

Cheap and reliable are two things that never come hand in hand.

If you want a turbo just hear the BOV or say it's turbo'd, your intentions are wrong.
