Here is a good step by step for you.
1. Sell your car
2. Buy a Mazdaspeed3
3. Boom Turbo :laugh2:

This is probably not something you can do solo. To increase the boost to any meaningful level you'd have to invest in upgrades for your fuel internals and an intercooler to dissipate the added engine heat from the turbo. You'd also need a tune with all the new parts before you drive it.

Getting a Mazdaspeed would save a lot of time and effort. It will also cost about the same as doing all the upgrades and there's tons of aftermarket parts for those cars available. They can get to 400 hp pretty ez with a few bolt ons.

Hey, you haven't lived in 20th century, so damn young to look for turbos. I bet that's your first car, better learn how to drive it! After you are confident enough, gained several years driving experience, then look for more powerful car.
