120kwKe20, I have to agree with oldrolla's, anything can be turbo'd, but if you have to ask then you probably don't have the skill to do it yourself (make turbo manifold, etc) then it can get expensive. No offence, you may be a master tig welder, I don't know.
Plenty of turbo kits around are for dead stock standard engines. If you keep the boost low (5-8psi) and the tuning is right then you shouldn't have an issue. Granted it wouldn't have the huge surge when it comes on boost. But if you do it on a standard engine, just be prepared that a cracked piston is a real possibility.
P.S. I'm doing the same for my 4K KE35 with a suck through SU. And no, I don't care if I blow it up, and yes I do know that standard repco pistons aren't very good at best, but 4/3K's are cheap.
You don't learn unless you give it a go.
