Yes how much do you want to spend??
You need to bodge a turbo to the manifold then a downpipe to the system. an intercooler, remote oilfilter set up, oil cooler, bigger injectors, and a unichip or mappable management. and reduce CR by what ever method you choose

you could rig a speaker set up under bonnet so it played back a clip of a dump vlave goign off so sounded liek it, but you'd get whooped by ever 1.3 feista and ppl would think you were stupid to do it, but yes ou can

if u want a cheap turbo go for a rover 620 Ti (2.0l turbo 204bhp)!! although the insurace group is quite high, most insturance companies dont see the car as a risk (im 21 and got insured on a 98 reg one for £500 third party).

so funny, right, erm, yes u can get a turbo sound dumo valve things that goes in ur exhaust, and my god they lie below in the tack department, around the area on neon washer jets

and as said u cant afford to buy a turbo car, yet a conversion will cost around 3k
