I cant answer your questioin but hat you should do is run a search using the search function at the top. Theres alot of info in there regarding turbos. I think you'll find it to be a little more costly then its worth.

Yes the K8 can handle a turbo. I don't know the max psi it can handle, but I heard it's around 8psi. A t3 turbo should do fine. If you wanna go really innexpensive, you can go to a junkyard and find a turbo. They're relatively cheap ($50 around here) and then with a simple rebuild they should be fine.
