Turbos are not sized only by displacement and they aren't referred to as "1.8T Turbos". For example, the VW 1.8T uses a K03 turbo with an application specific turbine housing.
You would need to fabricate your own exhaust manifold to mount the turbocharger, lay out intake/intercooler piping, review/redesign your vacuum system to handle boost, provide increased fuel support (flow, pressure, and ecu tables), and rewrite timing tables to keep from detonating.
That is a very general overview of what it takes to put a turbo on a naturally aspirated car.

Yes DS, ANYTHING is possible with enough money. But I'm going to tell you from experience that it is not worth the money and effort you will put into it. If you want a hot rod save up your pennies and buy a fast toy (and I don't mean a 1.4T Sonic either).
Dial in your expectations, appreciate your car for what it can do well, mod within those limits, and you will enjoy the vehicle.

Or, if you really want a turbo on it, go for it. Don't listen to these naysayers about, you should've gotten the 1.4T, blah blah. A turbo on the 1.8 will net you WELL over the 138 hp that the 1.4 is good for.
And just to preemptively stop the person that's going to say, "That's before you tune it." The 1.8 will make more power. The 1.8 will make more power. The 1.8 will make more power.

i think modifiying something like this would be a amazing thing to accomplish. i'd love to see it. i agree, go for it. just know it will be expensive and very time consuming.
hey eric, the 138HP was before i tuned mine, its more now... blahahahaha :banana:

You can slap on a turbo but you will be very limited like say, 5psi of boost and you will easily gain some HP but to get it running right you will need to tune it.
Back in the days, we used to turbo our 1.8 integra motors (this was like in the late 90's) without doing any tune because it was all new to everyone but any thing is possible.
