Default geo turbo ?

i know its sounds funny , you might think why bother but I like my geo and would like to turbo boost it . I have a turbo from a nissan 6 cylinder v engine . So im thinking i can use it simply because its for 3 into 1 . I has a pretty nice factory downpipe w/a flex pipe from the exhaust manifold. Ok , my question - possible without blowing the little booger up? Also, i would like to set it up so I can manually dis/engage for gas-economy of course.
Any tips??

Hell yeah boost that thing! I'm always up for seeing something different that people would "why would you ever even want to do that?"

There's a 1.0 3cy turbo on cardomain. I think he used the stock manifold and drilled it out for a DSM turbo.

I just saw one of those 1.0 3 cylinder engines in the junkyard. I thought the d series was small! WOAH!!! There is quite a bit of room in that engine bay though. Since the Metro is one of those cars that is sold under another name like suzuki and it's Japanese they probably have a turbo model out over there.

The Suzuki Forza came in a turbo model (predecessor to the Swift/Metro/Sprint)

However, from the next generation only the Suzuki Swift was available in a turbo model in North America. They've even got a little intercooler.
