Apparently it can be done but you need GTO twin turb gear box,computer,diffs and upgraded brakes...massive increase in power going from SOHC to Twin turb DOHC

Your Looking at about $8K to do that conversion. or over $10K to make it AWD while your there

nah itll bolt up... just your pretty much garuntee'd to snap your diff... converting to awd is also a ridiculous thing unless you hotrod things...

but yeah maybe some strengthening of the fwd and go nuts... or just buy a gto depends how much you want to have something different

Space for the twin turbos? I'd be thinking perhaps there might not be radiator clearance for the front turbo, much have to make it superlow mount or high mount? depends on the manifold and i've never seen one but I thought i'd throw it out there. Plus there's heaps of room from the back of the engine to the firewall so that shouldn't be a problem.

Probably f-all room to run a custom FMIC etc.. Go subaru spec and get a top mount :P

nah we have a pretty massive engine bay... even for a twin turbo running through a mas sensor a front mount should be no problem to be made up although it could be for the fabricator.

Yeah the mounting of the turbos could be problematic but turbo manifold fabrication costs would pale in comparison to the cost of the FMIC piping and clutch and gearbox set ups... i think the lower mounting would be a better idea with the v6

have a look at blackbeards cooler piping... that runs through the mas with some excellent fabrication but it shows how its done. I think we have reletively more room too...
