Anything is possible with enough time and money, but it's probably not going to be worth either for you. It's going to take some custom work and you would probably wouldn't be able to push too much boost with a turbo that was on a Honda anyway.

well like they say it take power to make power, and that turbo would spool so quick on a car like yours that it would spool before you were even in your peak accelerating zone. I would say if your going to do it, get a bigger turbo man. I agree man, turbos are fun

If you're honestly looking into a turbo build look for one that's specific to 4th Gen cars. A correctly done turbo build is not cheap, and it's not as easy as "installing" a turbo to make good power with one. I put installing in quotes because you're going to require significant exhaust modifications.
