Turbo in 2.8L

So ya putting in a turbo in my 2.8L just wondering if anyone has ever done it before or even heard of it being done? I will be doing it within the next few weeks. Anyone have any input on this? I have a friend who dose alot of custom jobs like this and he says it will be no problem. If anyone has done it are there any problems that you ran into? Oh and if you think I am crazy for doing it that is ok ;p

Techsmurf has a turbo installed, and yeah....

V and I are building turbo kits.

It is NOT easy.

Almost 2 years of R&D here, on it. Scroll down for pics of the production Y pipe. I'll go get pics of what a local custom 'shop' built for us.

This Y hasn't been ceramic coated yet. That's probably going to be next weekend. I just shot it with some hi temp paint, for right now.
