How to implement max Log MAP algorithm turbo decoder on FPGA? Simulation is done on MATLAB. What are the next steps to be followed? Do I need to use HDL Coder feature in MATLAB? Is it needed to implement it on Simulink or System Generator first?

Matlab simulation can help eliminate functional bugs. Now you will have to code the algorithm in a language that RTL compilers can understand, such as Verilog/VHDL.
I have not used the Matlab HDL Coder, so I am unable to answer your question. There is no harm in giving it a try. If it can generate VHDL or Verilog, try compiling it into gates.
