search for the turbo technics corrado's

they were only 1.8's but it will give you a general idea

Failing that contact places like stealth

 

Its very doable, you need to drop the compression ratio and find some way of manageing it(g60 management might work)

The germans still sware by 16v turbos

Lots of info on the web but take what you read with a pinch of salt

i think a golf TT kit would be the best fit

You don't necessarily need extra management - if you're only going to run, say, 5psi of boost then you could probably get away with a 5th injector tapped into the inlet manifold and wired in via a boost pressure sensor switch. Bigger or smaller injector will alter your fuelling and Robert would appear to have married your aunt. Not the most advanced solution I grant you, but cheap and it'd work! More boost though, and you would need something like MegaSquirt. The Golf Turbo Technics kits do come up on eBay occasionally, and I think spacer gaskets are readily available over the pond as they're fans of the blown 16v...
