Short answer yes. You can turbo anything. Don't know what kind of Turbo you want but it all depends on the tune I guess.

Do you have the vtec head, because you might wanna think about getting that before you turbo.

ANother thing you might want to consider is putting arp head studs AND MAIN STUDS!! It really helps hold the bottom end together. Even for the turbo. I have a sc61 turbo for my b20/v havnt installed it yet, someone before me had it on his ls/v and said it pulled like a son of a b****

boosting it about 10 pound on stock parts would be safe

What's the build of the engine? It all depends on your build & goals. Is it a straight B20 or a B20/Vtec?

As stated before in this thread, you can turbo anything. Be sure your motor is healthy though if you're leaving it 'stock'. Start w/ a leakdown test or compression check before you even do anything & check how the numbers look.
