Header with a turbo? Yeah, #1, I'm half asleep, this graveyard shit is killing me

#2, I don't know a whole lot about turbocharging anyway. Really though, say, for example, I put an Fmax turbo kit on my engine right now, without building it up at all. And my engine is STOCK, no mods at all. What kind of boost could I run, and assuming I am putting, say 100 hp to the ground, how much of a difference would it make? I know this isn't the same, but my cousin had a 91 Supra 6 cyl non turbo, Gtech said 160hp, he put a turbo kit on it, and Gtech said 242hp. Can I expect 80 horses from just a turbo, or probably more like 50-60? He didn't have an intercooler, either, and it is my understanding that a good intercooler does a lot for you. And can I even fit a TL Type S motor in this car? That would be cool, but maybe more of a project than I am looking for...
