with a little fancy footwork you could do it no problamo...you just have t fab an exaust manifold that will attach to the turbo.

well, find out what size the turbo is and think about how it may spool, and whot not. what kind of power is it capable of pushing? the easiest thing to do is take a turbo from a TII and manifold, and just do a bit of fabbing and make it fit on our 12a's. that's what i did.
