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.
You're right, I don't have that much experience with Crossfires. The only point I wanted to support is that remote mount turbo setups are a feasible option that's much easier, cheaper and successful then people give it credit for.

Personally, I wouldn't go this route either. Part of the reason I like the crossfire is because its such a finely crafted machine, and you don't get a car like this to dig into it over the weekend before hitting up the dragstrip.
