Yes going turbo on a stock motor can and will most likely be a headache. The money I've spent on mine I could've easily done a swap which I planned from the beginning but 4k for a turbo kit looked alot better than 15k+ but now I've spent over that and am now working on my swap after all that money ahah. Beware boosting on a budget with this platform is not ideal be prepared to spend alot more than what your planning on. You'd be better off using that money and building the block before going fI....
