Doing a turbo swap is not as simple as "hooking up" a turbocharger. Its actually very detailed work. Do a search on turboing an N/a.

Not very likely, unless it's a twinscrew of some sort (I wouldn't bet on it), or a modern centrifugal I wouldn't even think twice about it.

I've seen one in a rotary blazer from PR, the charger looked as big as the engine (it was popping wayyyy out of the hood) Don't know the details on the engine porting but it was a tubbed dragster.

I believe there was a thread on a project build that a forum member was doing on an s5....a search might turn that one up

here's some pics of a camden setup on a 1st gen

If you are truly thinking about doing this however I would recommend using something other than a typical factory style supercharger.....even though you can get it for a deal - the amount of work requird to install it had better yeild more gains than you will see with 4-6 psi........
