Default Single Turbo possible?

Yesterday I was talking to a friend who builds turbo kits for f-body cars. We were contemplating sticking a little T70 or so sized turbo onto my C5. Is there any way to fit a turbo under the hood without moving everything? My radiator is already laid down a bit for my P1SC. But I'm always interested in making it a little more unique, and wondering about sticking a single turbo under the hood.

I know a rear mount is easy enough, but I don't really want to cut my car up much.

I didn't ask where to buy one. And Hinson requires cutting. But thanks. Close enough.

Your correct, you asked if one would fit up front without moving everything. You can probably fab up one with the idea Hinson uses and thats about as close as your gonna get to direct drop in.
