turboing an 8v

[drew at scirocco.cs.uoguelph.ca (Drew MacPherson)]

No2 diesel and No2 heating oil share the same base.  The additive package
differs between each fuel though - and of course, dyes also differ -
because we all know what a serious crime it is to be driving on the road
with an untaxed fuel.  In Italy this apparently includes biodiesel you've
manufactured from oil that you pressed from oilseed crops you grew
yourself (recently read an article about a small co-op in Italy whose 
members were fined for driving with untaxed fuel (they had grown and made 
themselves.)

Fuel additives include cetane enhancers, lubricity additives, etc. etc.

However, I know a bunch of you have turbo'd 8v's and I was wondering just what is the cost. What parts can come from yards, what has to be bought, how hard is it to find yard parts and what kind of work does it take? I've looked at the 'kits' people have put together on vortex and they all seem $1000 or more. The more detailed you are the better. Like if you put: 4 mandrel u bends, 2 18" pieces of aluminum pipe - $75 that would be way helpful. Even better, anyone have a tech writeup on it? Just give me the low-down on what it takes to turbo an 8v.
