it's a small turbo yeah but it's only a small engine.  they can make 200bhp and 23psi boost.  They are also cheap to buy 2nd hand.

correct fuelling is the key, so you'll need a good remap.  Aquamist helps too, without that you'd probably have to retard timing to the point where you'd be better off running less boost and more advance.
