Good luck with that one. I don't think I've ever seen one.
There's just not enough room.

I'm joining in on the good luck wishes!
I have hard time finging a mini ram wich would be AC compatible. Maybe you could get someone to make you a costum one, i think that the mini ram is the best choice if you're trying to retain AC.

I don't have an EF but I do have a DIY turbo setup on a B16 with A/C and PS on a 95 coupe. I might be able to give you some ideas.

Totally different ball game.
There's WAY more room in an EJ/EG chassis than an EF. I've built turbo systems for both and building a turbo system for an EF is much more difficult because of the space restrictions. Plus you have to deal with a crossmember and a full sized radiator.
IMO it's just not worth the effort. It would be easier (and probably even cheaper) to buy two EFs, one with AC for a daily, and one without for a turbo system.
