Is your GS equipped with a 2.0 4A20 engine or a 2.4 4G64 engine. The first one is built by Chrysler, and should be located on the passenger side of the engine bay. The 4G64 is a Mitsubishi motor, and should be located at the driver side.
If you have the 4A20 engine, the easiest way to get more power is to get a Hahn racing turbocharger kit.

If you have the 4G64 engine, you should be able to fit the 2.0 4G63 turbo engine from 90-92 Galant VR-4 or EVO I-III engine and bolt it to the GS-T tranny.
However, either case, it would be much more cost efficient to get the GS-T or GSX than turbocharging/swapping....in my opinion. Just use the $ you save for the swap and sell your current car, you should be able to get a decent turbo DSM....

IMO, getting that Hahn turbo kit would seems more feaseable.
Good Luck
