No offense again, but Cheap, and correct are two words that can't be used in this topic. I would recomend purchasinf the oem s/c and manifolds and going that route. That would be cheaper than what this project is going to be, and it would be more feasible. However, if you want the "show" of a turbo then go ahead, but your gonna need deep pockets, and several people with deep knowledge of CUSTOM turbo building. Just to let you know, I am fairly decent with turbo builds, myself and my brother-in-law just finished putting a holstet diesel turbo in a 420a 95 dodge avenger, trust me it's not a kit, and it wasn't cheap either.
Please do not take this the wrong way but there IS room for a turbo install under the crossfire. I do believe a corvettes ride height is much lower than a crossfire's. Also your exhaust system in your crossfire cost more than $900....why no concerns their?
I drive a car equipped with a sts kit.....my car sits about 3 inches to the ground. Not once have I had an issue with my intercooler piping or turbine getting damaged.
A sts kit is not cheap....but it is a cheaper option than others.
