Thanks

It has been discussed here before, you might try a search.

The simple answer is no.(gotta have a place for the turbo to mount to. won't work with a "header".)

George nailed it, no tube headers made for turbocharged Ecotec engines. If you want a header, your turbo will be homeless and lonely.

You might want to investigate honing the cast iron manifold to smooth out the flow through the tubes!
A fun thing to pass the time but not much gain in ponies!

A downpipe after the turbo is worth looking into. There are some good options on zzperformance.com

Here's one place that does it, it's called extrusion honing:
