search, yes, it is possible, but you can't boost it much. the xa's engine isn't very strong, but they're very cheap.

but yes, you can add a quality turbo kit with engine management to an xa without blowing up the engine. but it ain't cheap.

 

any recom. what type i should look for

 

if ur gonna spend that kind of money for a quality turbo, u might as well have the engine built to handle it. u can pay me now or u can pay me later type of thing. do it right the first time and u wont have regrets about what u shoulda done in the first place.

 

i was thinking the same but is hard to find someone who will work with me like that Im SO cal

 

Any motor could be boosted with minor adjustment like computer and fuel injectors. I don't think it should hold more than 5lbs safely without building the motor. Just be careful and in your case, tuning is key to not blowing the motor.

 

Agree. I bought my car new, turbocharged it at 15k, and it currently has 70k on it. I have stock internals. I used the Greddy kit and the stock boost on the kit is set at 5-6lbs. Any more than that, the motor may blow.

Be aware, you will have to get a new clutch if you turbocharge it, and possibly an engine damper or better motor mounts. Also, you'll have to spend money to get it tuned at a legitimate shop. I have it tuned conservatively because I don't want to blow anything.
