That article surely must be a very old reprint.  I don't think Callaway still
does turbo conversions for Alfas.  Besides, 240hp is what the 3.0 liter
V6's put out in the Honda Accord and Mazda 6 family sedans.  I think
a modern day tuner shop would more likely do an engine swap if 240hp is 
all that a Verde engine is capable of (running on pump gas and smog legal).
