alright and welcome to the site

with the age of the car i dont think it has a diagnostic port to remap you would have to go down the older route of chipping where the 1 or more of the chips is removed and another soldered in its place

other things that you can do to increase
cam (s)
fuel boost valve
sports cat
exhaust manifold
engine change ??

the turbo can be fitted but youd be cheaper to buy a new car, a lot of companies want a car for a week to fit turbos (lots of labour)

Welcome to the site - Pgarner has covered the options pretty well there. Have you considered an engine swap?
