A turbo is not quick, easy horsepower. Thats what nitrous is for!
That said, a JY turbo system is sweet, but like metioned above, you will need to do your homework. Figure out what turbos may work so you have a lot of options when you arrive at the 'yard. Turbos, intercoolers, and BOVs can usually be had from JY sources. I used two Garrett T3s in my TT system. They can be found on Volvo, Saab, Chrysler, and Ford SVO/T-birds.
