I've seen a few Spyders with the turbo wing. You pretty much need to eye it up yourself though and mount it, as the trunk does not have the same dimensions as the hatch. You might want to shoot a PM towards Shypder as I'm pretty sure he did this and might be able to give you a few pointers.

It will fit. You will have a crapload of holes to fill from the old spoiler. Have fun!
It sits in about an inch from the end of the trunk and the front tips of the spoiler will just be on the trunk still. It's a bit heavy with the trunk up but it still works. Any questions feel free to ask. I drilled 4 holes to hold mine. I had to take a hole saw to the support on the trunk lid to put 2 of the bolts in though... If you want pics let me know.

Oh I forgot! best way to do it is to put some puddy in the bolt holes on the spoiler like over them not really in them. Place the spoiler how you want it and press down then. Hopefully the putty sticks to the trunk. Drill the center of each piece of putty down and through into the trunk. You should then have 4 holes that are hopefully dead on. The first time I did it I used the padding from the original spoiler. The second time I've just taken outdoor weatherstripping and went around the underside of it.
