Hey Wes,
I just posted asking the same type question for my 93 V6. Have you been able to find any info on running turbos on the Magnums yet?
Someone mentioned weight converns, that a all the turbo stuff would add up to the same weight as having a V8 in there, but I dont think it would. As far as I can figure, the turbos and tubing are the only heavy things you are really adding to engine, everything else would get replaced and modified. I think if you ran the 24# injectors fuel delivery and maybe even a V8 fuel pump would be ok (I have a Gen II, I dont know if the pumps on Gen IIIs are different), and the fuel management might even be solved with a custom PCM burn. I am wondering if one might also need a cam ground to better handle intake side of things, but I am still very much in the investigative stage of this project.
I have been mainly thinking about using OE turbos from Saabs or Aadis, etc. I dont know much if anything about them, but I would think they would run at a lower pressure than an aftermarket, not to mention lifespan...
