You can turbocharge any motor if done correctly. If the motor is running too high a compression ratio just install a thicker head gasket and some low compression pistons and it will be able to handle boost without a problem.

Just remember that turbocharging is going to cost money regardless of what motor you are working with. Unless your motor is new (under 50K miles) I would recommend upgrading the pistons, rings and head gasket before you go forcing more air into the cumbustion chambers. I learned from my mistake the first time I threw a turbo on a car.
