Check out the FI boards for more details. But to answer your question, no, you can't turbo your S for anywhere close to $2k. You'd be very hard pressed to SC it for that as well.

If you could turbo your car for under $5k it would be amazing. After a turbo kit, EMS, clutch, exhaust, etc.. youre looking at $7-10k

You may want to do some investigating before you turbo. Turboing an NA car, you run into problems and maintenence should ALWAYS be increased.

Getting a turbo means you will need a kit, custom made ones will just mean you spend more $$$ in problems and less money up front with unreliability that can blow your motor and low hp numbers...you have much to read young one...get to it

You can't find any turbo kit for around $2K new or used.

Your best bet is to go with Greddy's new kit. It is pending CARB approval, so that's a plus.

I plan on going the Greddy route when I get some extra cash.

Contrary to some posts in here, you can go turbo and still have reliability.
