2001 golf 2.0 questions

Alright i have a 2001 golf 2.0. I originally wanted a GTI but i settled with what i could find. I'm wondering how much trouble it would be to put a 5 speed or possibly a 6 speed? in it and to turbo it. I'm new to this stuff so feel free to help me out. I know just getting a GTI or an R32 would be much simpler, but getting rid of my current car isnt an option. any ideas?

I heard that putting a turbo on a 2.0 isnt a good idea. The engine isnt built to handle it. It can be done but it takes alot.
