I'll see if I can help. First you will need to get all the battery relocation stuff to move the battery. Then for the turbo kit....will you be building it or will you have a shop build it for you? I don't believe there are any off the shelf kits out there for what you want. I'm sure there's other stuff that needs moved as well...overflow bottle, cruise motor if you still have it.

Hmm..... I would check out kentucky turbo kits______________>> they are a sponser here. There set ups seem great. As far as the turbo where the battery is, I know you will be limited to how big and your gonna have to notch the frame alittle bit. Other than that just mesure and research it can be done.

Thanks. I Would Rather Have This Guy Fabricate My Set Up Than Buy One. Nothing Against Any Sponsors.
