They do sell turbo kits that are somewhat "universal", more or less its just a turbo and you have to add however many mods you need to get it into the car.

All turbos are universal. It's just the piping from the exhaust
manifold to the turbo then to the exhaust and the intake pipes
thats custom. It's like a muffler, all mufflers are universal... it's
just not smart to put in on all applications.

Unhappy regarding turbo

when i went to get my car dynoed last week, the shop i went to does work starting with body work and builds full blown hot rods . i asked them how much for a custom turbo for the TLS... they guy said that it would easily run 12k with about 13psi for a twin turbo. said a single turbo would be almost as much cuz u'd need a bigger turbo... kinda sad... i thought it might be around the same price as a SC.

When I was in school, one of my school mates drove a Civic hatchback. He deliberately cut open the plastic bumper grill and put in an intercooler and some plumbings behind it. However, the ends of the plumbing went no where inside the engine. Everytime people asked him about his "intercooled turbo", he always had that nasty smile on his face. So the lesson is : a visually mounted intercooler piece doesn't mean that the car has a turbocharger or supercharger !!
