1) If it bolts up, it should work. They all run off 12 volt batteries.

2) Cheap and safe are on opposite ends of the turbocharging spectrum. If you don't have another car or the funds to immediately fix a blown motor, don't do it. If you do it anyway, use a kit that comes with some kind of fuel management beyond a pressure regulator, and better yet something like a Link that will control spark as well. But really, if you want a turbo, spend the money for a proper swap or just buy a WRX.

I know none of that is what you want to hear, but it's the only advice I would give.
