you would be much much better off swapping in a 1.8L bp dohc engine/trans from a protege or an escort gt. They make much better platforms for power adders than the sohc engine. A bp stock makes 124-127 hp stock and you can run about 8 to 10 pounds of boost on the stock block safely. The other option is the bp-t which is the turbo version of the engine and that runs up to 220hp no problems on it. Turboing a car is not as simple as many people think. When you add a turbo you need better fuel injectors to mix the air/fuel properly and better engine management to make it work right. To turbo your stock engine you would run just as much as to turbo a bp engine. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda_B_engine for all the facts/figures on your options.
