I have twin turbos on mine and i found out the hard way that our 
stock motors have "cast" pistons in them, so if your boost pressure 
goes much beyond 5psi you will at least have blowby and create excess 
pressure in the crank case which pushes the dipstick loose and sprays 
oil in that area of the enj compartment and some of that oil wil burn 
on the exhaust, leaving a large cloud of smoke that makes people (and 
some cops)think your motor is on fire, and extra oil is pushed into 
the air cleaner soaking it and reducing the power and gas milage by 
almost half.
The proper way to install turbos is by upgrading the pistons 
to "forged" ones, and the worst case the cast piston will break and 
look ok from the top but with the rings removed it falls apart in 
your hands.
I do know a performace expert who specailzes in turbo's he is located 
in Lansing MI, his shop is on clippert street, his name is Gene.
P.S.i talked to steve at DMC in texas and he said the turbo 
aftermarket kit is a quick way to blowup a motor.
