you could but it might not last long depending on the coompression and boost pessure.
still would be easier looking towards a preturboed engine out of some citreion or pug van.
you would also have the problem of trying to map in the differences caused by the turbo



going to ottawa stay with ma cousin whose been over there a while now

Yes it is possible, provided you restrict the boost pressures , or reliability may suffer.
