Depends on the heads..I think you might be able to turn the manifolds around on the later heads to run the turbo up the front(dont quote me on that!).........the easiest way is to fabricate a set of extractor type manifolds and a crossover pipe to join them running along the front of the engine with a flange welded to the end. Not too long ago a friend was selling a set of Garrett Strata Holden V8 turbo exhaust manifolds, I could check if he still has them for sale if you like?? (THESE ARE SUPER RARE!!)......In any case you are going to have to pull the engine out to enable you to modify the sump to accept a drain line with fitting.............can you explain what "Goodies" are in this engine to give us an idea of whether its gonna push the heads straight off the block and last longer than a few weeks please?...theres alot of part matching and planning that goes into a turbo engine, even worse when its being turbo'd on an otherwise factory N/A engine.

flipped cast factory headers with some extensions.
I think the big thing is what you want out of the engine.
I've got twin TD04Ls, a 650 holley and manifold, headers, sump with twin oil drains etc. all sitting around to go on the 253 in the ute.
BUT
I dont expect it to last too long, nor have I spent much money.
Like stretch said, bit more info on engine specs, what car its in etc etc will go a long way to getting some in depth answers
