Go for it mate, you can turbo your stock engine just realise it isn't designed for it and MAY damage it.

Just don't expect to go winding up the boost because something will go bang, i've seen it happen.

I could have turbo'd the 1.6L on my KE but i'd rather get the same power from a different engine so I changed it.. Now I can run it all day long as hard as I want to and not have to worry.

Personally i'll add a last comment to what I say to everyone who asks "Why not turbo?"

'Mate.. if I wanted a fast car I wouldn't have bought a Laser.'
