Going to end up costing more than you paid for the car and you'll probably blow up the engine if you don't rebuild the bottom end. Unless you definitely want to keep that car...

personally it will be too much of a faff to gain not so much power and will cost you a small fortune in the process.
why not go down the c20let route this will give you a 204bhp platform to start off with and with relatively mild tuning can be upped to 240-250bhp

Turbo'ing a naturally aspired engine will prob cost ££££'s.

Cheap turbos can be purchased from breakers yards which are ideal for a try it and see type project.:bigsmile:
Please note that I don't think it is worth adding a turbo to an old car with a small capacity engine. There is nothing stopping you but the money and hassle will just not be worth the power gain you get. It is better to just buy a better car for your tuning project.
Adding a turbo is a major engineering task and without a kit with full instructions and all the parts you need there is a big risk of blowing up the engine. Expect to spend 50 hours upwards on a project of this type.
This is not the sort of modification you should undertake unless you are mechanically competent and know what you are doing.
It is worth looking at superchargers as these are generally much easier to install than a turbo is.

as said getting a 2.0 turbo c20 or z20 and fitting it would be cheaper than trying to turbo the 1.4
