So I have a 1993 3.1L V6 and am investigating what it would take to install a turbo onto it and I'm looking for some input. Initially I thought of picking up the exhaust manifold and crossover pipe and mounting a turbo to it w/ the necessary piping for an intercooler and finding the mem-cal from some junkyard TGP. But then I realized they used the non-E version of the 4T60. So my first quesiton is if there is a chip available that will support a turbo and the 4T60-E. I know very little about ECM's but I think that the tranny and engine code both reside on the mem-cal so I couldn't keep the 4t60-e tranny code an dump in the trubo code from a TGP? Is that correct??? or is there a way to use some pre-existing ECM memchip for a turboed engine with the 4T60-E?
Second how much hp and torque can a stock 4T60-E handle? My tranny was rebuilt a year ago with standard parts so if I'm just going to blow it up then I should sell it and swap in something that can handle mroe power. My thought was to do a auto to manual conversion and swap in the Getrag 282. Do those 282's handle power better than the 4t60's? Are there any other tranny options for the 3.1L? If I do the conversion to a manual, how does the shifter in the car connect to the tranny. Is it though a cable connection.
Does anyone have any experience with the naturally aspirated 3.1 to know how well it will hold up to boost. From looking around the main difference I can see if the pistons are better in the TGP (and I assume the fuel in jectors are bigger in the TGP). Are there other differences too?
I go to college in the upper peninsula of michigan and have lots of snow to contend with - I was hoping to install a limited slip front differential on the car and I came upon this site:

Are any of you familiar with those? Apparently they have them for both the 4T60-E and 282 and run between $500 and $600 but I don't know if they really work or not. Anyone have any experience with them?
I'm keen on learning so if a lot of this information is sitting somewhere please point me in the right direction. Thanks!
