EVO piping will not work on the OZ. Turbocharing the 4G94 is not simple. This engine was not design to handle too much boost. You'd be limited to 5-7 psi and will need intake, exhaust, turbo, and a tune if you're trying to pushing past 7 psi, you'd also need an intercooler, head studs and fuel pump. And if you're willing to spend the $4-6K for this work, you might as well spend $1K more and get cams and timing gears. For all this work and money and extra stress on you engine and drivetrain, you might get another 100 HP. And don't forget the clutch.
With the OZ, I would recommend sticking with cold air intake, headers, high flow cat, catback exhaust, and if they are well matched, this should get you around 30 HP. If you got to have more, try NOx, that's be the easiest way for you to get 50-100 HP. And once again, at this power level, the stock clutch isn't going to last more then a few runs.
If you're set on turbocharging your OZ, you might check out Road Race Engineering. They are a good shop and they do have kits for the OZ's 4G94 engine:

Good luck with your mods.
