i was wondering if you could, say, use a turbo from a WRX, or any other car for that matter, and make it work on an Accord?

any turbo would be able to be put on any motor. you need a turbo that's the right size for the motor and amount of hp you want to run in order to work right.

but the wrx turbo you mention would be good for your motor, you would just have to get the turbo manifold custom made for that turbo and your motor.

on ebay there are usually stock turbos available for cheap, like stock dsm turbos or I also see a lot of volvo turbos. get a nice rebuilt one cheap and that might be a good starting point for an economy turbo setup.

(Austin Powers' Voice) wait a tick. Honda dose have a turbo but its either in Formula 1, Cart, or on a Jet Ski :D.

if your gonna get parts from a dsm you should get the turbo itself from a DSM. nothing else matters the Intecooler is too small, the manifold wont fit and neither will the piping.
