Late model 911 shouldn't be a problem on the highway, provided you're tuned properly. The lag shouldn't be too bad either with the stock intake runners being made for good response.
John,
If you turbocharge your SC, then you may be able to keep the SS headers. You'll run the turbo pipes after the headers. It's easy to keep 1 header. It might need a lot more work if you'll keep both headers. You may still either keep the NOS or ditch it to make it more simpler in the fuel/timing setup. Or if you decide to go for a centrifugal supercharger, you'll keep your custom exhaust system. You'll have better performance than those with only the supercharger setup.
I know a stock turbo SC can't keep up with the 911 on curved roads, but there've been sereval Japanese SCs that run with all kinds of other cars at the professional tracks. I believe they're heavily customed in weight and suspension systems. Regards to handling, I still missed 1 of my Hondas. It handled around curves like a hot knife cutting butter. It's smooth, quick, balance, and crisp. It gave me the feeling of the roads. I drove around the entrance and existing freeway ramps at 60-70 mph with no problems.
Ryan, I may take you up on that offer....Thanks...

I'm way too busy so there's nothing much to update, so I'm keeping it on-hold. I've just removed all of the exhaust sections, including all the cats. It was a pain in the ass for this removal because I had to crawl under there. There's no much room & leverage to move around. I had to dremel-cut 2 stripped & rusted nuts...:hypnotized: I'll try the turbo manifold on this weekend.Any update on the project? Also, do you mind telling me were you purchased the rebuilt turbo?
