Default 2005 Volvo S40 2.4i Turbo Conversion Questions

As I posted in the title, I have an 05 S40 2.4i. I have been looking at multiple products to upgrade the performance of my car. However, most of the engine products seem to require my car already be a T5 model (such as the ELEVATE S40 T5 Intercooler). Is there a proper way to convert my car to a turbo in order to use these?

In a word, NO, you have to start with a T5, do you understand what an intercooler does?

Not worth it at all, buy a t5 model anyway. Turbo swap would be upwards said and done of at-least 3g's if you aren't doing work yourself. And that is just guessing that it could be done.

In all honesty your going to spend more in time, money on upgrading your N/A to a turbo model then it would be to just purchase a model that is already turboed and mod from there.
