This still doesn't answer the complete question, since we're ignoring the turbo part. I'd imagine once you finally got a VQ into a 240sx and working, hanging a turbo wouldn't be more than an exercise in pipe routing (and a hell of a lot of welding). With the short V6 motor in that long engine bay, you could do one of those cool front mounted turbo setups like you see on Mustangs....
I see what you are saying , so you are saying that the mounting points are diffrent between the 2 blocks ? And the cost , and throttle by wire setup would be a huge mess. I've always liked the smoothness and refinement of the VQ series of engines, and seeing how even more of the cars weight gets thrown behind the front wheels , it would seem like it wouldn't be a bad handling car either. And the huge frontmounted single turbo was what i was thinking about as well
