Wow @ some of the responses...
The manifold would fit, yes.
The turbocharger can fit on top of it, yes.
What people are forgetting is the position of the engines and the space underneath.
This is a graph of what the LNF engine and setup look like:
Their engine bay is much wider and the location of things are much different.
Because your engine itself is positioned differently, there is no way you could use the charge piping. Whether you could use the intercooler itself is questionable.
Another reason you couldn't use the cold side of the charge pipe is the position of the throttle body because it points down, yours points up.
So to sum it up, everything would basically need to be custom made except for the manifold and turbocharger if you really wanted to use them but I personally think if you're going to do a aftermarket setup, why sell yourself short with stock car parts when aftermarket can go much farther and be even more efficient.
Also note that the exhaust manifold is a cast iron manifold, so that is kind of a plus.

I think if you had that intake manifold it could work. The position of the throtle body is changed with it and we have a lot of room without the supercharger and intake manifold on. Custom piping and using a FMIC would work, it'd be a lot of work though.

thank you adam for stealing my words.. .the responses that were given were starting to **** me off since they were pretty much all wrong.. i mean hell the saab 9-3 manifolds work... so the lnf exhaust manifold and turbo will work...
