To get it to work right with the VX, you are looking at trully customising the vehicle. Lighter panels and whatever else you can throw out, complete header/turboback exhaust system (catless), complete street tune (our computer is not very friendly with custom tunes since it thinks on its own rather well), complete cooling and induction system, and fuel system upgrade. Thus, why the wealthier than God JDM owner was able to complete such a task and he eventually put it up for sale. Doesnt say much about his creation, heh.

The S/C is a much better choice for the instant power at your command at a reasonable price.

The only reason you see turbos on large trucks is because they are pushing diesel and/or a V8 or larger, and then they are still only powerful, not necessarily quick. Ah, the scary sound of a V10 turbo diesel though.
uh.....3000gt come stock turbo and weights around 3600-3800lbs. the supra weights in at around 3600lbs and its one of the most well known jdm turbo cars around.

turbo lag has nothing to do with weight. its displacement and how fast u can spin ur turbos. if a honda b18 can push a t3/t4 with almost no lag. a 3.5L will be able to do the same, if not better.

whatever modifications it takes for a supercharger to run will also be required for the turbo. both systems r basically the same. theyre both pushing air into the engine. so if u need injectors and fuel system for a turbo ull need tat for sc. same thing for cooling. but u will need custom manifolds and custom exhaust, at the least. u might also need a IC.
