When it comes to turbocharging a port-injection engine, it's also worth remind they may need a richer AFR to prevent knock, even when an intercooler is also used. Is the injection on your truck a continuous-flow type? Maybe if you do a rebuild and add the turbo in the same process, switching to a sequential fuel injection may be a reasonable choice and overcome any fuel-economy penalty from an enriched AFR.

I would rather adapt some other engine into a Subaru than adapting a Subaru engine into anything else. I used to love Subaru until my father got an Impreza.
