You could try the conleys they do a ton of GN"S,they are working on a custom turbo kit for a ls1 right now. http://conleyracing.com/
They have had years of experience working with turbos. They have done all the work on my mustang. Ive been pleased with there service. Just my .02 cents

The Conley family put the LS6 motor in my Hawk. I have known the Family for about 15 years now. They definately know GM and turbos...

Sorry mike, but Kooks did not do the headers. EVERYTHING WAS done inhouse. Josh is a bad **** when it comes to welding.
