Anything can be done if you throw enough money and resources at it.
You'll need some way of controlling the turbo engine - a stock turbo ECU would work.  If you're keeping the stock harness, some of the pins need to be rewired.
You'll need to address the downpipe/exhaust and intake/IC "problem".  I forsee this costing close to $1,000, unless you're going to try and go "cheap" (i.e. non FMIC).
Now, if the rest of your drivetrain doesn't fail and blow-up, then you should be alright.
