I'm sure you could find someone to slap something together for you. But there only a couple guys in the NE that I would say do good work. I have an opening in January but you're a long ways away! lol.

Willing to travel, was just wanted to keep it some what local because the car is so rare the shop could get some attension by doing a turbo build on it.
I am willing to pay full price, not looking for a discount.
Doing it myself is not out of the question, but getting the manifolds to fit in the tight space will be the hard part. Open to suggestions.
550hp would be great with only 7-8psi.
Yes, I will post some GTM pics for you.
Realquick.....I will look him up.

judging by this photo, it looks like cake to fab up in my opinion.
You shouldn't need to do anything to the manifolds, just fab up a merge pipe with a turbo mount on it and the intake is right there too so it looks way easier than when i done my rear mount setup!

Tune time performance already built a car like that for a customer. They are located in Toms River NJ. They have been in GM High Tech magazine over a dozen times and really know their ****.

If you were located closer to the midwest we could build you a killer kit. all the best materials, wont find much better work. Have customers wanting to ship in cars from canada for turbo kits.
If you have any interest at all in maybe shipping the car or having it picked up for a price. PM me and ill shoot you some info and pics of our work

Synapse Motorsports in Albany NY. They mostly do FWD performance. But they have and will do GM RWD stuff (Equiped with HP Tuners and Dynopaks for tuning). I know the owner and fabricator personally and they can make jewelry out of stainless tubing!

Love the responses!!! What would the cost be to do the fab with a small turbo?
As for doing it myself, two things come to mind, 1). I do not have a pipe bender and 2). I dont understand enough about forced induction to plan/lay out propertly.
