Is the car/engine turbo able. Yes.
Is the owner turbo able. Right now, I'm gonna say no.
Go out and buy or get from your local library "Maximum Boost" by Corky Bell. It will teach you want you don't even know you don't know.
Then you'll be able to answer your own questions regarding is it able, and how much HP will I get.
If your budget is $500-$1500, no, not able. You might find a used system, but even then, who's going to install it and tune it for you. Sorry, unless you have the skills/knowledge, $500-$1500 won't do it. Turbo able Fail.

And please PLEASE read the rules about the way you type. This isn't a forum for "leet speek". Please use proper sentences, capitalizations, and not txting abbreviations, etc. I understand you're from Syria, so I can totally understand if there's a little language barrier (although most of your sentences look like they're fine, so I don't think language is an issue at all), but please write things properly. Primarily because it's the rules, but also you'll get better responses for people if you put a little work behind your posts.

Thanks.

I haven't planned out how much I'm willing to spend on this project yet. I'm first trying to see how much it would cost before I set price boundaries.

I think you need to turn down your ambitions and think of a better way to get your hands dirty and learn your car. Maybe some headers and an intake will be a good place to start for you. I don't know what your level of experience is, but start small first.

do some research.. then do more research about the research you just did.. then get some deep pockets.. you don't even need maximum boost, just research on the interwebs.. much more specific information on the web.
then if you still are wanting to turbo, come up with a reasonable budget (MUCH higher than 1500$) and add about 15-20% for all the things you haven't thought of.. then take your time to boost and check everything 3 times..
voila, 6 months later, 3000$ later, you have 70 more hp and are boosted.
