Default Installing a turbo

Hi all,
I recently acquired a 98 S70 Base model with 126K on the clock. Engine strong and well maintained. Ijust installed front sturts, hubs, control arms, sway bar links. I am debating whether it is practical or advisable to add a turbo. Any thoughts??? Thanks in advamce.

Won't be practical. Compression ratio, fuel map, oil drain tube hole in block missing, intercooler and all related intake parts missing, etc..... Find a turbo car if that's what you want.
