And you are talking about a factory effort, i am talking about a homebrew effort. People please don't forget i am talking about doing this BY OURSELVES. Without millions of support and engineers up to the neck from any factory. Like i stated, anything is possible, but do you have the money?
Anyone with the money to attempt a turbo install should be able to finance this effort.

The tuning and adjustment is the same for any turbo install.

I believe anyone capable of comprehending the concepts of turbocharging can comprehend the concepts of turbocharging a high compression engine. A 10:1 CR engine can be safely turbo'ed as long as the boost is limited to 5-6 psi. A safety system to prevent detonation such as water injection (or a water-to-air intercooler) can be installed.

You speak of it as being impossible and exorbitantly expensive. It isn't.
