I pity you.
First, the 2.0 4G94 isn;t strong enough to take a turbo, pistons are thin, rods and bearings weak. This you can find out by reading in the forums about engine mods.
Minimal horsepower gains can be gotten with lightened crank pulley, etc, but it's a lot of work for very little gain. Weight reduction elsewhere as you would, say, on a CRX, will leave you with a lighter car, a half second improvement, and a horrible ride.
'Buy a faster car' really means you should have bought a Ralliart, with the 2.4L has more potential, and since a turbo can be had, and not blow up the engine, this will give you some opportunity to mess around.
Ralliarts are a lot more $. There are reasons for this, good ones.
An Evo, of course, opens the door to a lot more fun, and a lot more money to spend.
The 02-06 Lancer is simply a simple car, slow, dependable, not too boring, and easily maintained. If you wanted faster, you shoudl have bought a Ralliart at least.
Sorry, but that's the short form. If you want to disagree, or press on and do everything you can, learn to search. Lots of good info here for you.

The advice I got was to avoid turbo. You said " the side walls are thin and not a lot of room to bore them out. But the internals can be upgraded and with the right turbo setup and tune".
So with a 'little' machine shop work, new moving parts, and careful turbo selection, you can get something out of the 94.
How much $, vs buying a Ralliart and starting with a stronger motor, though you would need an Evo to get a factory turbo? I'm thinking a RA is a better use of the $.
I don't get much advice to boost the 94 without serious work. And admittedly not many stock motors can take a turbo without improvements.
