I wouldn't even think about it. The fact that you asked the question tells me (no offense) that you have no concept of how much $ and work would be involved. You could look into an aftermarket supercharger kit which would be less work, but I'm not sure that there is one available- even that would be costly. I just bought a beautiful '91 9000 turbo for $2450(e-bay); and despite a few a problems I got a great car. If you had a garage change everything to turbo you would probably spend at least $4000 - for that much you could find an awesome 9000 turbo that wouldn't be an overpriced piecemeal nightmare. Try looking on e-bay and you'll find a decent turbo 9000 that will satisfy your cravings for speed. I would take that car and start modifying from there; for another 2K in aftermarket goodies you can end up with a 225-275hp monster.
