Normally aspirated cars are not designed to run turbo or superchargers. You will need a custom exhaust manifold for a turbo, and a custom intake manifold for a supercharger (there are rare exceptions, but custom work would still be required).
There is so much more to adding a turbo to your car than the turbo itself. The turbo is just one piece of many, just like you need more than an engine to have a car. Other than the Sunbird 2.0 Turbo, and a couple prototype GM cars, our engines were not designed to run a turbo or supercharger. With the 2.4L, GM later developed a GM Supercharger system for 2000 and up engines only. GM is slated to debut a 2.2 Ecotec supercharger sometime in 2005, but that system is developed for the new Cobalt.
Look through the rest of this FAQ to see a basic list of parts that you need to add boost to your car.
