Is my mk5 1.25 16v fiesta safe to turbocharge or not? Because I need it to have a bit more power.

Turbocharged engines are made with stronger internal parts to handle the extra stress a turbo puts on the engine. Your engine is not. You'd be better off buying a different car.

I agree with what the other two people said.
Also, just a hint on attracting views and help on the Forum-
Put something about what you want help with in your subject line rather than just saying can anyone help. If there's some information about what you want help with, more people may read it who know something about that subject.

Or swapping in a whole, already boosted from the factory, powertrain/drivetrain, although that could end up being even much co$tlier than just buying said different car. ;):(
