There is a fair amount of room behind engine not sure if would be able to get a turbo down there but could just do what samass has done and gearbox mount it.
the kseries turbo is front mounted, so the full rad system has to be moved forward.
I have seen a few even run charge coolers. I think one even moved the full charge cooler tank to the boot along with a rad. Id have to have another read.
good bit of engineering, not for me I think I will stick with either vvc or build a throttle boddied engine for the car.
