TurboCharging an SL

I read an article about one
Some years ago I read an article about someone in Australia who turbo-charged his 350SL. I remember he had problems due to the high compression (9.5:1) of the Aus delivered 3.5 litre. The lower compression 4.5 in the 450SL would probably be a better candidate for this.
