Default help to turbo

i am looking in to trying to put a turbo on to my 1776 beetle.
it got (044 heads big valvs polished and ported, twin 40 webers,
1.25:1 rockers, balanced crack to 5k, breather kit, 120 cam, cromoly
pushrods and lightend cam followers.)
and was thinking of trying to get the turbo from the wreckers. but
what car shal i get one off?
the engine had a deep sump and an external oil cooler but will it over
heat if it runs right?
can i still use the twin weber set up or will it be to hard? am i best
to try and only use one?
is it best to have to turbo blowing or sucking? witch is easyest?
witch is best?
will i be hard to set the card/cards up (mixture and tickover)?
were do you get an oil feed from?
has any one got and photos so i could get a better idear of the hole
set up?
and last what sort of power can i look at geting but keeping it
reliabel (it will do the 1/4 in 16sec at the min).
ps sorry about the spelling
