Default possible turbo build

I was wanting to put a turbo on my 2006 mazda3 2.0L, but I've read that after you put a performance part on that gives the car a high horsepower increase(such as a turbo) that you need to get it tuned. I've been asking around and cant find anyone to tune my car after I had put my cold air intake in, will i be able to find someone to tune it after i put the turbo on? Because as far as I know, my car is untunable. any help is appreciated, sorry if i sound like i dont know what im talking about, I just started to really get into cars. thanks in advance.

Yes your car will need to be re-programmed (tuned). Just throwing on a Turbo will cause engine death. You will need to search for aftermarket performance places in your area!
search on web for "performance shop" followed by your city.

No car is 'untuneable'. Also, if I could make a recommendation, I'd say you'd be much better off trading your car on a Speed3. It really won't be worth the money when there's already a turbo version of your car out there.

Second that notion. The money it will cost to add a turbo properly would payoff half of a speed3.
