Default Turbo 3.9 Mag

OK, so here's the deal. The Dak died last fall (trans failed) and I had to get another daily driver. Since I couldn't part with my baby, I've decided that it's going to be my toy from now on. I'm going to get my trans completely rebuilt and upgrade with a shift kit. I'm also thinking about tearing down the engine and doing a rebuild (don't really know when/if it was ever done.) I bought it with 200k miles (it was the right price). I've already rebuilt the rear end, but think I may upgrade the gear ratio. Anyway, I've been reading the threads about superchargers and turbos, and I'm pretty sure I want to throw the turbo in. The reason I'm asking is because, frankly, I have no idea what I need to put the turbo's in. My dad and brother have also been the mechanical/performance side of cars, while I'm the detailing and wiring guy (but some of these cars are just damn near impossible to do the right way.) Anyway, I have the 3.9L V6 magnum. I want to keep the turbos out of the engine bay if at all possible. Fab work is not a problem. Can someone give me an idea of what I need without saying TURBO KIT. Also, any engine mods that I'll have to do to go along with this upgrade?

Looking forward to hearing from you guys.
