You could do it, but it's pushing sh*t uphill man. It'd be an easy 5+++ grand getting this off the ground, and months or years of troubleshooting, for what? An obscure 14 second fwd sedan.
-Where are you going to get the manifolds?
-What about fitting wastegates?
-Where are you going to plumb one turbo or fit two turbos?
-Anyone aware of available parts for upgrading the fuel system on an 07 sonata?
-Sorting out engine management would be expensive, difficult, and custom, plus it'd take lots of money for people to take you seriously
-The transmission will sh*t a brick
etc
Sell the sonata and buy something else if you want to go fast

Yes, you can. If you have an automatic, I wouldn't use it. If all you want is a little more power, then a very simple turbo system could cost you just under $2k. You could use the factory manifolds. I hope you REALLY love this Sonata, cause you would be committing to a long and costly investment.

As for the auto i got 2 years running 9.5 psi out of my lantra auto now it's been rebuilt with a shift kit, a more stall torque converter and a decent trans cooler so hopefully that will do but a decent tranny cooler would be a must.
