Simple Turbo Idea

I was reading mufflex's website (a local custom exhaust place, huge reputation) and read they can do custom turbo applications for everything from custom headers, y-pipes, down-pipes, intake pipes, and intercooler fabrication. I got this random idea, of one really simple and relativly cheap set-up.

Running on the stock manifolds, have Mufflex fabriacate a reverse y-pipe towards the front of the car, to come up into a single turbo set up (behind the radiator, between the motor). From their the turbo would be wherever it fits (most likely right side of the engine bay where the intake & traction controll box would be relocated) and run it into a side mounted intercooler (probably the lower right side of the front of the car, where a regular intake would sit [ATI makes twin intercoolers that sit their]) then turbo back I would run out a 3" down-pipe to my existing 3" magnaflow without a catalytic converter. Pipes would then need to be made to an intercooler and back to the intake. This would obviously also require some fuel support like a 255lb/hr pump and larger injectors (tuned).

All I would need is the turbo, wastegate (if not intergrated), BOV, boost guage, fuel pump, injectors & a tune. Plus whatever it costs to have the pipes fabricated.

It would be a low boost application just to have some cool factor and that extra get up and go. I think thats about it? Does anyone have any input?

I think that it? Does anyone have any suggestions, Ideas, Thoughts?
