Turbocharging an atmo?

Just about to throw an atmo into the T-5 to get me by till the rebuild is over. Has anyone done this conversion?

Well, I've done it and it is great. I used a big port 93 20 valve naturally aspirated motor with the 13g turbo and all the electrics from the t5 and it goes very well. No pinging etc. I turned the boost down a little but may crank it up to see how it goes.
