Simple answer - no.

Long answer - yes, but with some SERIOUS custom oil/water plumbing, custom downpipe, custom IC piping, custom intake....Also, you wouldn't have the control system for the turbos (that's part of the 3rd gen's EFI system) so you wouldn't get the most benefit from them.

I have a 2nd and a 3rd, and have worked on both of them heavily, and I agree with dcfc3s. Major pain in the ***....and the unit itself would have major modifications to all of the surroundings.

What exactly are you talking about? Putting a single turbo that used to be on an FD on an FC? Because aren't turbos pretty much interchangeable with the proper parts? Now if your talking about putting the stock FD twin turbos on an FC then that is ALOT of work.

the turbos, y pipe, dp will physically fit the car but they will not clear any stock fc intake manifolds. http://www.2751engineering.com/blackfc.html
