Im going to go outside the square here and say..... have you thought about a rear mounted turbo??? have a look at this site: http://www.ststurbo.com/f_a_q. they have complete kits for all the new camaros etc. the trick is to size the exhaust housing right.
and while i duck my head in cover for all the abuse ill get for suggesting it:- im currently in the process of completing such a setup on my vr v8. in fact it is actually on the road and frying tyres. im in the r&d stage now.
pop the bonnet and apart from the different inlet pipe, you wouldnt have a clue wats going on!

All the best with the vr turbo conversion..
When I had my VS V8 5speed I wanted to bolt a turbo or two up to it.
No one would look at me. Every one said bah, turbo crap; supercharger is the only way to go. $8,000 Thank you.
Bugger that.
I even popped in to a few jap tuning places that only deal with turbo. They too were not interestered.
So I spent a few thousand on cams etc. Was dissapointed so I sold it and bought a R32 GTST and dropped a rb30det in it
There's no replacement for displacement.
Still.. In my books there's nothing sweeter sounding than the awesome sounding Holden V8 (sounds like a real v8 unlike the ls1's) and the turbo whooshing away as it force feeds.
If I still owned the car with my knowledge now I would feel confident doing the work myself.
How are you doing the turbo setup on the VR? pics pics.

Theres a Red VG ute up here in a workshop with a massive turbo getting fitted.. I will ask if I can take a pic.. this makes the GT45 look small.. I spoke to the business owner and 1000hp at the treads is a high possiblity..
The pipe work is extremely neat.. and fits very nicely..
