Whizbang will become famous soon enough
My thoughts would be just get an S4 turbo assembly, ecu, harness, etc. Some misc. GSL-SE parts and swap it in.

It has a higher chance of working right the first time and the driveibilty will be much better.

The 12at motor (the ACTUAL 12at) is similar in a lot of ways to a GSL-SE but the control systems are very different. The throttle body on the 12at is a lot like the Nikki carb in design, only its not a carb at all. So the intake manifolds may only be slightly different.
The distributor is also different since it can reference boost pressure as well.

I have 1/2 of a good writeup on swapping 13bt engines into first gens. I can finish it sometime here and put it up.
