    yes you can. a modest turbo would be the T25. but you can only boost so much on stock internals, around 6-7psi max.

    Which one would you recomend and how much that will cost , I want to at least have turbos that I could boost up to like 15 or 16 psi....

    it's not the turbo that's limiting your boost but your engine's internals since your car's NA.

    I see ... so before I put turbos I should basically replace and add new things to the engine?

    if you want to reach those psi levels, yes. or else, say bye bye to your engine.
