switching from procharger to turbo
I checked up on the search button but couldn't really find anything specific to what I was looking for. I was thinking about converting from the procharger p-1sc kit that I have now to something like a Hellion single/twin turbo system. Does anyone know how this is done? How much does it cost? This will be done after I build my block of course so I want to start with knowledge obtainment now so I can make an informed decision. I've always wanted a turbo and after I build my block I know it's more possible than ever. I have an 03 GT.

uhh....
how is it done? you uninstall your supercharger and install the turbo. that part is not rocket science.
how much does it cost? depends. at the minimum your looking at the cost of the turbo, plus tubular front end, plus a dyno tune. if your having a shop install the k member turbo and everything else (which i assume you are since you had to ask), i would expect atleast a grand for that kind of labor to be done. so at that point its the turbo kit + a grand or more for labor + 500$ for dyno tuning.
now there can be additional costs too. depending on what kind of fuel setup you have now and how much HP your going to want to run, you may have to further upgrade your fuel system to be able to run the numbers your looking for.
your questions are very bland to say the least.

if your talking about using your procharger piping for the turbo you got a LOT of custom fabricating ahead of you.
and the reason i said suspension was you don't have a choice unless you custom fabricate something that doesnt require a tubular k member (and good luck doing that). there isn't any "doing it afterward"
