Default Turbo for a 2004 4.0 Edge Edition?

Would it be possible to install some kind of turbo to my '04 Edge? It has the 4.0, and its a FWD (if that makes a difference). I'm new to aftermarket modifications to my truck, so take it easy on me, please! Im looking for a reasonable price range, which would probably less than $1500, if that's possible. I've also considered doing an engine swap with a 3.5 ecoboost. I know that it would be quite a bit more expensive, but it's an option. Thanks!

If this has already been discussed, I apologize.

Fwd= front wheel drive. Do you mean 4 wheel drive?

Anything is possible if you have time and money, I've seen more supercharged 4.0 trucks than ones with a turbo, but where there is a will, there is a way.

Swapping in an ecoboost would work, but go way out of your price range. The 2.0 ecoboost bolts right to the 4 cylinder Ranger transmissions and engine mounts, but the wiring harness needed alone is over $1500.

Any kind of forced induction is out of your price range. There is a supercharger kit available for your engine. No turbo kit, so you would have to go full custom. For the supercharger I would expect to spend 3k minimum. Putting an ecoboost in, I would expect to simply drain your bank account.
