Default boost ?????

was wondering could you turbo charge a 1.5 sohc vtec-E. vx motor?
i know that my motor is for fuel saving. but my gear's are super long. so can it be done.
I know that i'am not going to be super fast, but want some action in my vx?
so has it been done?
and if so what are the pro's and con's?

last time i ran my ride at the track it pulled a 16.4 est---79 mph. not bad for just a p-28 upgrade, cold air intake,msd cap-n-coil.

swap it, then boost You'll appreciate it a lot more, and it's still economical...

swap is always the best way- but want to try something diffrent? i never heard of a turbo vx? it's been done i,am sure.
want to leave car just the way it is. but with some baby boost. maybe 6-8 psi.
