Read the 2nd gen FAQ. There is plenty of information on turbo swaps. The hubs have nothing to do with it.

You can keep the hubs.
the setup will be the TII half shafts with 4 lug wheels,and Crappy brakes(fronts will be single piston Right?) but hey,at least you will have more power to Hit the Car HARDER!..J/k.
I am just trying to say that if you are putting a TII engine then you really should Upgrade the brakes too.when you can.it's only a reasonable upgrade.
