Yes you can turbo charge your car, however on stock internals you should not run more than 5-6 psi of boost and even this can be dangerous if you don't take precautions or your compression ratio is too high already.

However be very careful of your A/F ratio and make sure it will not go lean under boost. So unless your stock fuel system is up to the task you'll need to upgrade that. Also make sure you'll use only high octane fuel to prevent detonation.

And another thing don't just slap on a turbo, make sure that its compressor map matches the engines mass airflow properties. I can provide you with the necessary equations if you would like.
