When you ask if it can be done with so many threads posted about it, you don't need to do it. I suggest learning as much about your car as possible before tackling that task

You can strap a Saturn V rocket to your car if you have enough $$ or knowledge.

Plenty have done it,lots of guys here can help you.......
But if you ask such a general question,it means you either didnt search first for specific knowledge on the subject......or as stated before,you lack the knowledge about turbo systems to pull off the mod yourself.
Thats not meant to be an insult,just advise.Turbos dont just bolt to the engine and work,its a complete system,a re-invention of how the engine breathes and behaves.Thus,nearly all aspects of the drivetrain...fuel delivery,oiling,thermal management,exhaust,drivetrain strength,ignition,ect... must either be modified,reinforced or completely changed out,for the system to work correctly,reliably and not destroy your engine/car.
