there are alot of different V6 turbo set-ups as there is with 4 cylinders also.
one example i have seen in person, not saying i like it lol, is a toyota lexcen (toyota commodore basically) both manifolds were brought round the front of the engine and the turbo was top mounted in front of the radiator.
you have said, and in the pic we can see that the engine bay has very little room, therefore you would have to have a side mounted set-up which will have to include a custom manifold. in a forced induction engine short pipes are not a neccesity as the air is 'forced' not sucked, unless you are seeking extreme performance gains.
hope it helps a bit, remember if you wanna talk dude im on msn regurly

yea the whole turbo thing can be done, once again most things can is you have the money, besides from that its just the KA7-KA9 (sedan - coupe) engine bay is just so tight. ive got pics if some one wants to host them.

theres talk of a exhaust turbo setup being made in the states, but i dont think we will see any thing down under like that.

most V-configured turbo set ups use twin turbos for easy of plumbing
correct me if im wrong but if you were to mount the turbo at the back of the engine where the extractors come together for the exhaust system it may be possible to use a single turbo without having the problem of different length manifolds

problem would be intake plumbing if u mounted there
