I would really consider just getting it put in with the turbo conversion then..
As it needs to be put into the intercooler pipe work. Seems silly having someone fit all this, then you having to pull it off again, drill holes in it, weld fittings for the BOV etc.
But yeah if you handy with a welder and stuff you should be able to fit it yourself.

if your car is not set up with a turbo yet than dont even bother.. chances are that with the conversion new pipework will have to be made to run an intercooler with the new engine and or accesories.
you are wasteing time puttin it on now. it will not make noise and people will laugh at you..
also it would be a pretty funny story if you got defected for a non working bov.
but in all seriousness dont do it until after the conversion (wich i hope you have budgeted for) and out of interest what engine is going in it?

What is the engine? I was guessing a 4age engine and those have no provisions for a bolt on blow off valve.
It'd be a custom job when you get the intercooler piping sorted out.
