JWT can handle the tuning very easily. That would not be hard at all.
You would need to run a large turbo (like a T3/T4 size) with the large duration and overlap of the VE high RPM cams. You would get a lot of backpressure and reversion with a smaller T2 based turbo.
I can get you a VE motor and do all the fabwork if you need it done. My number is 813-546-3524.
Peace,
an .86 a/r exhaust side would cure that problem as long as its a good flowing turbine wheel (pulsar / ns111 etc)
