    You can't use SD headers (or any) with a turbo unless it's custom piped.

    Depending on the turbo kit, power logs could be an option

    If $200 headers break your budget on a turbo build then a turbo might not be for you...

    No I already have em on and a turbo on the shelf. I wanted to add the turbo as well, that's all.

    Even if you did add the turbo, it will make a lot more power with the correct tuning, but the transmission will eat itself and it'll cost a LOT to beef it up enough to take the power. Ironically the turbo is one of the cheaper things of a turbo set up (depending on the turbo, of course).

    I had to cut out the rear trunk to be able to use the headers.

    you can use headers... The stock manifolds will make more power / spool better.
