So far, there isn't a company that offers a turbo charger for the duratecs and as far as I know no one has tried to retro fit another kit onto our cars yet. I know that there are a few people on this site(David Z) who are looking into it though.

Terry Haines has been working on doing a turbo SVT, but that is along w/ several dozen other projects, so . . .
Right now, the only real choices for forced induction is the Vortech kit or roll your own.
It's all about balance.

yeah, I'm right around 280hp mark and loving it  But the twin turbo engine will have *alot* more torque than my natural aspirated engine My torque is around 205ftlbs@6100, that 300hp twin turbo makes 320ft lbs!!! And the twin turbo will most likely come on strong at about 3krpm. It would make launching the very interesting

ive heard of a company that makes custom ehaust manifolds for turbos for most types of cars... theres this pretty well known guy here in the chicago land area who is known as turbo tommy.. he has a twin turbo 454 comaro, and he also has done alot of custom turbo systems for cars.. hes even building a turbo 1100cc bike.. this guy loves turbos... but any way i popped my hood to ask him about a turbo for my svt.. right away he said he wouldnt do it because there isnt any room to work in there... which makes sense but i think if the battery is relocated to the trunk.. a single turbo wouldnt have a problem.. its a matter of finding someone to make the exhaust manifolds and tuning the hell out of it. would be nice though...
