where else would u put it? don't quite understand latter part of ur quesiton.
it goes after the exhaust manifold, with a downpipe aft turbo that feeds the cat/exhaust. short list off the top of my head, u'd need to add an intercooler (altho i've seen some who don't), remove the header, add piping to reroute air from the airbox to the turbo, thru the ic, and back to the throttle body. will need some engine management, e-bcs, cbv/bov, what kind of airflow measurement does this engine/ecu use?
i'm sure someone has used a turbo rather than a sc to force feed the v8 since it's some what similar to the original v8 commonly used elsewhere.

I would love to turbo too. I think what he was asking, instead of mounting the turbo in the engine bay is to use a system like the american cars, where the turbo actually mounts by the rear bumper. Its an odd system, but effective. Seems like it would have alot of turbo lag though.

Total waste of time and $$$. There will be very little room to mount a turbo in this car unless you use the motor,tranny ,harnesses and diff in another type of car body.
