In the 420a they can run 8 PSI no problem they break at around 12 PSI if the motor isnt built up.

Their is no such thing as just slaping on a turbo, a turbo is a fan that blows air into the intak and is powered by the exaust. You need to get a turbo kit, which is a set of parts that will adapt the turbo to you car, exaust parts, oil lines, charge pipes, fuel parts.
A 420a is the motor code for the motor in your car, 4(number of pistons) 20(displacment) A(first production type). Its also refered to a 2g nt, or second gen non turbo.
For the turbo kit, check out hahnracecraft.com, they are the prodomonant maker of 420a turbo kits. the stage 2 kit which resides at 8 psi will come with a s16g mitsu turbo and a fmic. Their are other companys out their that make kits for the 420a. Star which uses a external wastegae set up with a garret t3 turbo. Tsi performance found at needboost.com use again a mitsu s16g. SBR.com which uses a garret t3/t4 turbo (only for buit motors), conceptillusions.com which use a garret t3 turbo also. Hahn has the best quality and rep. Star has the best set up for high hp applications followed up by sbr.com, CI.com, and TSi performance.
For a shop to install a stage 2 kit expect to be charged some where between 800-1300.
