Have you read any of the many old posts on converting NAs to turbos? Many have considered it, few have followed through.

Yes, I know few have followed through, and yes I know it will be damn fast, and yes I'll do it cause now I got my dad interested/backing the project....so basically I would need a custom header? Where could I get one of those made?
