Turbo in a Non-Turbo 1988 T-bird

I've been wondering if it is possible to make my non-turbo T-bird into a turbo.  What I'm getting at is changing my stock 88 into a "turbo coupe". I suppose I could pull the parts from a donor but should I?
If it looks like a duck.............walks like a duck...........quacks like a duck......................its a DUCK!

If you have all the pieces you need, engine, trans, harnesses, etc, sure. It can be done. People take Turbo Coupes and swap in a V-8 all the time. They all started life as the same kind of empty steel shell.
