No way is it worth the hassle !
Wait till you can afford the insurance and buy a turbo then.

Unless you have thousands invested in "bodykit, etc" and like the looks of yours.... an insurance company won't like it one bit.

you can, but theres so many other parts you'll need to do its not financialy viable to do it, once lal the parts are change the insurance will be more than a standard uk turbo anyway.

best thing sell it and buy a turbo

Brakes, gearbox, suspension, ecu, intercooler, etc etc. All this is needed on top of cost of the turbo. It just isn't worth it mate.

If you can do it yourself with a cheap write off its worth a go

Wont be able to insure or sell the thing, but fun all the same!
