Your compression ratio is perfect! To make the power you want with a turbo, you have to make sure your piston ring lands are not too high up. That and maybe a cam change (not a lot of duration, 114 + LSA) will probably be your only changes needed. Not sure what the cubes are, but an 88mm unit will suffice unless you have 400+" and are shooting for 1500 hp!

You can figure 1300 for a good carb, 1,900 for the turbo, 500 for the waste gate, 300 for a blow off valve, cost of the cam, tubing for the headers, boost controller is about $500, and if you dont have a programmable ignition, it may be a good idea

Keep in mind that all the prices above are brand new prices and high dollar parts and brands. A nice used turbo can be had for around 800$, xo2 or vs racing wastegates work fine and are only 200$ shipped and they now have a descent blow-off valve too. When I bought my carb I got a dual needle and seat CSU for 900 shipped that had omly a few passes on it. Or you can do the conversion yourself for next to nothing. And hats are 150$ from csu no need for them high dollar EV hats. You would prob. have no need for a high dollar elec. boost controller, you can get a manual turbo smart for 100$ All I'm saying is it can be done alot cheaper than parts above.
One day I will have something cool here.
