First of all do a compression test to make sure the engine is in good condition.

6-8 is safe but if your engine is still in good condition you can take it up a notch.

yea slap a turbo on it, just run the proper test first on your motor. if the motors not in good condition you may want to reconsider the turbo. Or just do a engine swap.

sorry i put it in the wrong section im new here, but ive heard that u can almost always boost 6 to 8 psi on a stock engine if its in good shape and my motor was just rebuilt and it only has about 14,000 miles on it so i think it should be good to go
