JPC in Thomastown do conversions. Dont know if they sell a kit as such.
There is a link with photo's of their manifold at

Or if you have the skills do it yourself. I bought a Garrett GT35/40 relatively cheap from an XR6 turbo.

I have a tb42 turbo efi setup, and have been meaning to put a kit together for a while.
I am using the diesel high mount manifold which so far has had no dramas. We are making close to 200rwkw with full boost below 2grand.
The xr6 turbo's are quite cheap atm so that could be a good option for you.
The only other decision you need to work out is what sort of intercooling you want. Air to air, or water to air.
I will get together some prices and send you a pm with the info.
Anyone else interested in a turbo setup, feel free to give me a call.
My workshop details are below.
Racingline Motorsport.

We have full in house dyno facilities and turbo efi setups are our specialty.
cheers.
