You can do it. From what I’ve read here you may have to do your head gaskets too. Apparently the extra boost can blow a high mileage head gasket.
If you want a new turbo, $2,000, you can get it through any good parts store. Or you could try and save money and get a broken, wore out one off of ebay.

With the proper exhaust and fuel settings you can add over 50 HP and over 100 Ft Lbs.

211,000 miles is a lot to add a turbo though.

www.atsturbo.com 1995 for the IDI turbo plus the exhaust is more for a three inch complete exhaust
