Elvis,
The biggest problem I see with a turbo setup where you are describing, is that the driver's side has several components that the passenger side doesn't, like the steering column, the starter, the auto tranny coolent lines, transmission dipstick....a lot of crap on the driver's side to have to work around...
As for mounting a turbo on it's side...I have no ideal...but if you can, it would be a much better set-up, so I figure there's a reason they don't...or everyone would mount them that way (I assume it because it would side load the bearings...but that's just a guess....
