5.4 Turbo

I have a 2000 F-250 with a 5.4 and am looking for some more horsepower. I was thinking of putting a turbo on it. Could I get a used one at a salvage yard off of like a powerstroke or something?It looks like all you would have to do is make two pipes that come off the manifolds and come together and go in one side, and make the other side go straight into the air filter box, then make a down pipe and tie it into the exhaust. What is this I read about intercoolers, and changing injectors and other things is that involved with a turbo? What other things am I missing for this install. Also with this do you think that I would mess up the 5 speed transmission or rear end, I have 4.10 gears right now? Thanks in advance for any help,
Ryan
