Never seen one. Supercharger kits are pretty common, and relativly inexpensive. But if you want a turbo you'll have to build it yourself.

I heard a rumor about a small shop somewhere in TX(???) that was working on one. But havn't seen any results yet.

These guys are looking for donor cars to modify. You'll get dealer pricing and a free dyno tune, if your the first in line.

I'm thinking about getting one for my 96 Camaro SS.

Carroll Shelby actually built a turbo Dak as a follow-up to the Shelby Dakota. It was a gen1dak with a twin-turbo 360. This was in something like 1990. I've only found one pic on the 'net.

Wish he'd post a how-to page. If you go the turbo route, it'll probably be one you put together as you go from someone like that STS group '400 mentioned.

I just need a flange, and a remote system is less efficent then the turbo close to the engine.

How about twin remotes with dual exhaust? Could you use two smaller turbos for that? These might be too small, but you get the idea.
