in the vans the turbo sits in the valley at the back of the engine. kind of like a powerstroke. it should be pretty easy. get manifolds and turbo from a van and slap them on.

yep...it can be done...just as previously stated; get the manifolds and turbo from a van, and it'll all fit nice and pretty.
