IMO you should never turbo a car that is NA from the factory, but since the D16 engine has such low compression and is very stout it would be a nice app for boost. i wouldnt plan on running anything more than 7-8psi on a stock block unless you don't care if it blows.
on the other hand, a nice NA motor making good power and maybe even a LSD would make a great daily driver that wouldnt give you the headaches a boosted NA car would. just think how much money you would be putting into the boosted car in order to keep it running and compare that the price of a low mileage, high HP NA motor swap that would run for a long time with no issues.
it's definitely going to cost you more than $600-$800 in the long run...
