The problem you'll have is that your piston rods will end up on the ground, and you'll end up on the side of the road somewhere!

The engines my look very much the same externally, but the non-turbo version's bottom-end is NOT built for the greater stresses the turbocharger will add.

You CAN bolt one on, but the results will most likely be short-lived.
