do a search!!! you can do it but there is alot more to just adding a turbo. what size turbo? how much HP do you want? how many psi will you be able to run etc etc. search and read then ask a more specific question

I have been close to 300hp on my stock b16 for over 2 years, as others have said most important is the tune.
