yes been done a few times in UK and i think once here in aus i know of.. lots of work and lots of $$$
theres more to it than just a manifold and a turbo and a tune... u'll need to do all the internals aswell and then uprate oil pump etc etc expect to pay $5-10k, better off just buying a turbo engine or a sri-t

Yeah there's a turbo kit available from courtney I believe. Last time I looked it was around £3,500 but that's without shipping then fitting and pretty much rebuilding your engine. Not as simple as bolting a turbo and new manifold on.

SLYOPEL here has done it
Look him up and ask him what you need
You'll quickly learn that doing a custom turbo is a headf**k and will cost you a lot to do it properly.
As said, if you want a turbo, but a factory turbo car.
