it has been done successfully many times. no one has a "kit" for the conversion, however. these have all been one-off, custom conversions. do a search on http://www.northamericanmotoring.com for turbo conversions. tuls seems to be the turbo guru although many others have some impressive results.

Thank you for your reply...

so, you mean they done it before ?
you know, supercharger is limited power and many extra upgrade should be done. which mean > $$$.

Yes, it's been done before. Like beaner said, do some searching on the NAM forum and you'll find plenty of threads on it. Get your wallet prepared for the expense.
