Question about cross make interoperability

Ok so first off, you guys have to know that i have always been a HUGE fan of the Evo 8, even before i saw the first fast and furious in theaters... Its an ideal platform, looks great, runs great, and has so many things that can be done to it.

Sadly, in my many years of driving and owning cars, i have never had the opportunity to own or drive one.... BUT, the car i have now, the one i have owned and kept running awesome for the past 5 years(Hyundai Tiburon I4) shares the same engine as the Evo 8.

This leads me to a question regarding turbo kits that are made for the Evo 8....

the I4 Tiburon is severely lacking in power, which is understandable for what it is. it wasnt meant to be a fast car, but it certainly does look good. there have been a few guys that have taken the turbo kit off of an EVO 8 and put it in a tib, with success... but no one is selling those kits. what i want to know is, are there any REPUTABLE turbo kit companies that make current and up to date turbo kits for the 8, and/or how often are similar kits available on these forums for purchase?

thanks in advance.

Yup and all the time. Check the for sale section, you'll find stock turbos galore.
Also, good luck with your project, sounds wacky!
