Default Cheapest/Easiest Turbo setup for LSx Foxbody

Looking for ideas to put together a good (read: cheap) turbo kit for my lq9 powered fox. Was wondering what everyone was using. Obviously I could fabricate all the parts, but if anything off the shelf will work I'd rather go that route.

For example:
Will flipped truck manifolds work?
How about some shorty 351 swap headers w/ls1 flanges?
Best turbo placement?
Best turbo for an otherwise stock LQ9?
Innercooler kit/cold side piping?
etc.

Thanks!

All I know is It's a single turbo hotside.

He's currently remodeling his car and changing a few things.

He pm'ed me about it a couple days ago but I'm running twins.
