You probably bought the wrong car.
You could maybe get an aftermarket turbo kit (not only $$, but needs professional installation probably...ECM recalibrating...etc etc)...but even if you did that...your hope for durability and keeping it a daily driver becomes less likely.
Not only that...components like transmission aren't made to handle that much more horsepower. Torque steer would be crazy too.
Keep in mind all of that would cost quite a chunk of change too.
Maybe find a Mazdaspeed 3.
Or if that's what you already have...you are still pushing it by wanting another 100 horses from that engine/tranny combo. I can see 50hp gain...but another 100 would make the thing a hand grenade unless other upgrades were made.
