You'd have to get a custom manifold. I think the stock Turbo II manifold will bolt up to the six port engine, but there isn't enough room for the turbo to clear the intake.

If you had a custom manifold made up, you could make everything work together. It would be expensive though. The most cost effective solution to turbocharging a convertible seems to be buying a jap-spec engine somewhere or grabbing a wrecked Turbo II.
