Not to be repetitive but I'm with everyone else as far as your desire to track it....if that's your goal for the car I wouldn't put a ton of power into it that's going to put you into a ridiculous class. If you are looking to turbo it to have a street monster and to have something unique, and you have the money to do it, then just do it. When the hell else are you going to be able to enjoy the fun while simultaneously painful process of building a turbo car from scratch than when you're young. You're eventually going to grow up and get married and even if you have a lot of money you're going to get bitched at by your wife and you'll likely have other responsibilities that won't allow you to needlessly cashburn.
I won't even post the amount of money I spent on my old car nor the amount I lost when I sold it to Travis but I wouldn't change a thing! I was proud I built something unique, one of the first of its kind in the world (definitely the first in the US). That car put a bigger smile on my face when it was running than anything I've ever owned.
So yeah, figure out your goals and then go for it
