You're talking about an NA engine? If so, then there is no turbo kit.

Check the FAQ in the 2nd gen forum.

Possible, yes. There are several methods to have a turbocharged FC that was previously an N/A. Run a search for "TII swap", "Turbo N/A", etc... Also, as Aaron Cake mentioned, check out the FAQ secion, it's been covered dozens of times. Good luck.
