To be able to do that type of swap you would probably need to own a shop where you have a lift , fabrication tools. Then you would need someone with extensive programming knowledge and tuning knowledge to make it work, which would be pretty hard to find since it has never been done. As far as i know there are 2 shops running turbo chargers , bpc and digidon ( who owns a shop) and they have put so much time and money to make it work , although they are not even running 335 turbo's
