There are kits available but you still won't be up to the output of a factory turbo car. Also, the engines are quite different. To name a couple of items, the turbo motor has sodium filled exhaust valves, lower static compression, oil jets to cool the undersides of the pistons and more.

Go to tme.com for information on turbo vs non-turbo. I believe easternaerospace.com offers a kit for $3,200 - $3,500 that claims a 40hp increase over the n/a motor.

If you really want a turbo, I'd suggest selling yours and looking for a manual model. Didn't the Canadian models have the manual option?

There is probably more information on this topic in the archives.
