^^hmm.

Turbo WILL add quite a bit of weight.

They're not lightweight things - the exhaust housing on them is cast iron - and you'll maybe need to make the header pipes out of stronger / heavier steel than the standard ones, to support that weight without them cracking.

If you run intercooling you need to take the cooler into account as well... sure its only a few kg here and there, but it all adds up.

On the plus side you can completely ditch the exhaust system, past the turbo.

edit:
I'm sure the original poster knows this, coming from the modified car world... but for the rest of you...
