That is a interesting project
and a more interesting question.

What are you ideas

to do it correctly the engine will need to come out
and that will open a can of worms

Definately pull the donk out but not sure what fork to take. Want the power but dont want to many hassles when trying to retro fit either the SC or Turbo. So just fishing around at present I know you can bring kits in from the US but because of the changes made in the conversion a tad nervous on that score at present.

I've not used them but Sams Performance is supposed to be good with LS engines.

There's plenty of supercharger kits for C6s but haven't seen to many turbo kits (but they are out there) so turbo would cost more because of the labour and hours!

I don't know if they are close to you, but Castle Hill Exhaust know their way around tuned/turbo Ls engines.  They can modify a kit or custom build something and they handle all the re-tuning.  Speak to Dale about what you want and he'll point you in the right direction.
