It will require custom up, and down pipes, and an external waste gate.
Just how much power are you looking for, because IMHO, it's not worth looking at that type of set up, unless you are aiming for 450bhp +

Ok, the fact that you were asking about 16, 18, and 20G's in your other thread confused me !
What turbo have you been offered ?

It will be interesting to see the results. Biggest problem with big power bolt on turbo's, is the space limitation on the compressor cover.
So for example, even though we may take a 500bhp GT series ball bearing core, fit it into a small cover, and it's flow will be greatly reduced.
Take the GT30R, with an AR .60 cover, it's a 500-520bhp turbo. Fit a .70 AR cover, and it will make 550-570bhp !!!
Trying to get a real 500bhp out of a bolt on, on pump fuel, is VERY hard work.
