You guessed right, custom only. Check out the guys at 60degreev6.com. Search for user forcedfirebird. He had a thread on his turbo build on a 3.1.

This is a cut and past from another post.

LOL, Sorry but turbo a 2.8? Many of those things didn't make it out of warranty without needing a crank. Why not just pull the pan and hit the crank with a big sledge hammer. It will be a lot cheaper and have about the same results.

That would also be why no one makes a kit for it. Step one would be upgrade the crank and rods.

LOL that will hold up a long time.... No amount of videos will ever make be believe a 2.8 will hold up to any abuse for any real amount of time. Why you ask. Because I have put dozens of cranks in 2.8's. Most had to have the rods resized/replaced also. These where all bone stock motors that where maintained with less then 50K and less then 3 years old.

I remember one little old lady who let her Grandson borrow her car. He put less then 50 miles on it and streached out 5 of the connecting rods.
