Turbo V8

[Gary Heuston]

I see 2 problems with this...while you could get around the turbo weight
by somehow anchoring it to a bracket, the shorty headers are nowhere
even close to strong enough to support the heat that would be generated
here...they would crack very quickly.  Plus if I'm not mistaken having
(relatively) long exhaust to turbo plumbing is going to introduce lots
of lag since theres more volume to fill to get the same amount of
exhaust pressure against the fins...
