do a compression test and make sure your car is tuned up. then buy a turbo kit and make sure you don't go past a stage II. Lots of people running on stock internals with no problems. but of course, you should expect extra wear on the engine

You cannot turbocharge an NA car and expect no worries. You are putting more stress on the engine that the manufacturer intended.

If your engine is in peak condition, you should have
less worries. You should be ok. But anything can happen. You must be prepared for the extra maintenance and responsibility. Pay attention to your gauges and follow up on anything that doesn't seem right.

That's really up to you. All I'm saying that you should really know what you're getting into. Check out www.2gnt.com. Lots of people there are turbocharged. Just read through the turbo section and that should give you a good idea of what to expect.
