Well, the only person making a off the shelf turbo kit is Jon @ LT1Boost, a sponsor on here. Can it be done?? Yes. But you're going to need supporting mods like fuel pump and injectors, fuel pressure regulator, clutch if you're an M6, etc. The stock motor is only good for about 6 PSI of boost due to the weak pistons. Anything over that and it's a ticking time bomb, and even some 6 PSI cars have grenaded. It costs MONEY to go FI, trust me when I say that. Cheap, inexpensive, budget need not apply for FI cars.

Talk to Jon @ LT1boost and he'll get you squared up.

Def talk to Jon. I have seen bad turbo(cheap) jobs back in my DSM days. It pays to pick a power level first, then a budget, then adjust your original power level...LOL. boosting a motor if done right is pricey up front but pays dividends in the long run. Also a good N/A build can make same power as a cheap low boost FI build. Good luck with whatever you choose.
