I'd be tempted to actually give it a go. I think that you want to make sure that you're using a decent flowing inlet manifold (the stocker looks a bit nasty..), a decent exhaust, and then you might need to start looking at the cam etc. a bit. After that, you'd definately need to start playing some games with the fuelling side of things. However, because the blower's airflow is related straight to RPM and (being no throttle) nothing else, whereas the turbo will spool up depending on engine load/fuelling, you'll find either one of two things:
1. You'll get fantastic fuel economy, because the blower is a more efficient air pump than the engine itself, and is essentially 'doing some of the work' of the engine all of the time, therefore decreasing pumping losses, as the blower is not throttled back like a spark ignition engine. You'll also find that you're keeping fantastic exhaust valve temperatures. The constant extra airflow will keep the combustion cooler, thereby allowing extra fuel to be added before the critical temperatures are reached, making more power when you want it. Also the loss of the restriction of the very tiny factory turbo will help greatly.
2. The thing will turn into a black smoking pig!
I'm leaning towards number 1 myself, and I'd be very interested to see how it goes if you do try it.
