The initial plan for Stage 1 kit will use single T3/T4 mid mounted turbo that will replace the stock muffler and will use an oil pump for oil return, 38mm wategate boosting 5-7psi, BOV, FMU, Aluminum charge pipes, Stainless steel braided oil lines, boost gauge etc.

I'm with Chopper on this. You may want to plan on stockpiling some trannys as well.
Plus, before I did too much thought work, I would at least take some close looks at the Mooncraft. That plumbing was pretty damned serious and actually called for a custom made front cladding to house the FMIC. There is no way you are gonna get a TMIC in there unless you go hoodless, heh.
In the end, S/C is the best choice with it's modest power and ease. ya ya, I know, not an easy thing to find, but, occasionally, one will pop up.
Good luck. Can't say it has never been brought up before.
(psst.... I actually prefer turbo myself. :bwgr: )

I have a VX I just got it a few months ago and yeah it would have been stupid to design a turbo kit for a vehicle you dont have.I've seen the mooncraft turbo kit and I didnt like the design.

My bad I guess...maybe update your profile.I have a VX I just got it a few months ago and yeah it would have been stupid to design a turbo kit for a vehicle you dont have.
From where I sit, it still says "none".

Good question - as far as I know - it is not...
BTW, I would be in the market for the turbo kit (as well as for the charger..)

Prototype kit construction will start this spring. I'll keep you guys updated.

Rear mounted turbo?
So, you're going to be running water and oil lins back and forth, and charge air forwards under the floorpan?
Thats going to be a HUGE volume of intake and exhaust to pressurise to get boost up. You're going to need a bypass valve for sure.
I've seen it done on other cars, but its always been a kludge.

As promised, some pictures of the prototype turbo kit 75% complete....
*some items may vary from the actual kit.
Took the stock exhaust out...
Here's the turbo for the proto. kit
Charge pipe...
Proposed chargepipe routing. It requires cutting a hole on the inside fender area.
Return line tapped on the oil cap. This is for testing only, the kit will have a quick release fitting.
mocked up...
rear view...
more pics to come....

Well, I was poking around on the web (nah, I don't crawl.... haha) and gues what I found in the North-Western Island called "Australia"?
You guessed it - A SUPERCHARGER KIT
(see below)
The quoted power (185kW / = 250Hp) is based on the lesser 6VD1 from the Trooper, factory rated at 142kW = 190Hp)
That's a 60Hp increase, meaning that your 6VE1 would max out at about 270-ish HP or 200kW for us metricans.
Damn - that's close to the max rating for the auto-trans!
CHECK about the re-tuning of the PCM/ECU to suit the Pressure vs. Vacuum and the extra injector
Worth checking out...
