I'll ask a family friend about the sts turbo systems. Pretty sure he was a dealer/importer of the systems into New Zealand for a while. He still has a V8 commodore with a single turbo system fitted.

lol yeah i don't know in the video it was mount'd on the passage side of the car i think but hey i know what sell your car and buy a JZZ30 TT and you'll have turbo lol haha
Is it a lot of effort putting the relocating the battery to the boot? Yer i was thinking of selling the V8 and getting a TT, simply because the car i got now has 205k Km and want a bit faster Soarer

V8 turbo, you wont regret it! as is, stock the TT only pushes out a tiny bit more power, a single turbo on the 8 will give you a smile, possibly from the sheer G-Forces hahaha But yeah, my personal preference would be turbo the V8.

TT buddy all the way cause there easy to work on and got no problem of sitting at the lights with a rumbling exhaust in your ear just the nice sweet sound of a Inline 6 purring away

If you want to fit a turbo to a V8 and youre worried about relocating the battery to the boot being "a lot of effort" you should probably stop there...
To answer the original question, there are numerous turbo'd V8 Soarers both here and in the US and many more turbocharged 1UZ's in other vehicles. Google is your friend...
Oh and a 1JZ wont hold a candle to a serious boosted 1UZ

Depends how much your going to offer =) But if i were to buy another car it would be a Soarer. I just Don't know whether to get a TT or another v8 with lower kms

Your right about the cost, but when you start talking about those kinds of power levels a UZ will be the better-performing engine no risk, particularly as a daily driver
Look at any dyno graph of a TT making 260, 300 or more rwkw - almost all of them make less than 100rwhp under 3000rpm, and dont start to make any power until around 3500rpm
You dont have that problem with a UZ - 10:1 compression and over 1 and a half times the capacity makes sure of that

Where would you put a turbo in the UZZ30? There's no room to even fit my hand anywhere!
but hey i know what 
sell your car and buy a JZZ30 TT 
and you'll have turbo lol haha
just the nice sweet sound of a Inline 6 purring away
