consider a few things while you hold the turbo up in the engine bay.
you need to get the following things in and out of the turbo
oil
"intake" air
exhaust
water, depending on the turbo
consider that oil flow OUT of the turbo is very important - make it -12AN to avoid problems, and keep it's level well above the pan...
"intake" air should not be too too bad to deal with...
exhaust may need an external wastegate depending on things, and the diameter of the turbo's outlet pipe can become an issue once you start getting up to 3" and over...
gasses have mass, and therefore kinetic energy - try to keep the header & collector exhaust flow velocity constant, and try to avoid large abrupt changes in cross sectional area to minimize loss of kinetic energy... this will help to minimize things that can cause lag. When the turbo is going, there's so much gas flow, lag isn't such a big consideration, but below the gas flow range for proper turbo operating, any little thing you can do to help the turbine to spin quicker is a good thing to do
