Been thinking the same thing myself, things like the pros and cons of the different sized turboes would be good.

get a turbo matched to a 4.5 engine (xr6 Garrett GT35) good for power and prolly bout perfect size. get a turbo manifold made, dependng on quality can cost between $200 for a home steam pipe job to around $4000 for a custom made tuned length external wastegate and all that jaz ceramic or HPC coated. then its inlet hoses (can buy piping intercooler kits (2 donuts and a couple of straight and bend aluminium alloy) and then water or oil lines. after that drive it down to the local dyno place for a chip and tune (if possible) or just a new microtech etc.

its aint that hard :?
turbos are nice but i'd rather be blown

ATS4x4 had a blue wagon with the safri turbo intercooler kit on it. Got better fuel economy than some diesels sometimes.
Sold it to someone from NSW who I think rolled it. The vid of it going over pops up every now and then.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY....

Mule, Try contacting Darren at ATS4x4 Geelong, I'm pretty sure he had one years ago. Look up www.ats4x4.com.
Cheers
