it's possible, but we're talking BARE BONES turbo kit. go buy a turbo manifold, find a used t3 turbo in good condition w/ internal wastegate w/ a 5 or 6psi spring. then find a shop to do the custom downpipe & piping to the throttlebody. for fueling, you can get used vortech fmu's on ebay. and you can also find used inline fuel pumps out there. to upgrade your ignition, get an msd 6btm and some colder spark plugs. you can use an old mitsubishi starion intercooler, (in good condition of course) if you want to have one, it's not essential.
that would give you a working, cheap kit. but with only the bare essentials. turbocharging is no simple task though. realize this and do your research. do A LOT of it. we've got a forced induction forum here on the board that you could learn a lot from. do some searches on the board and online. get yourself a copy of "Maximum Boost" by Corky Bell. it's got TONS of information about turbocharging. good luck & have fun.
