i want to turbocharge my lamborghini
Discussion
mmmm that is a difficult one.
There are people who could do various aspects, but for drive in drive out conversion, I would tread very carefully.
You could perhaps try the likes of Turbo technics themselves, as they would probably have the knowledge and resources to take this on.
Of course, space available, and power expectations will also play a part.
You'd need to have an idea of exactly what you want to achieve....if its too much, then you could easily run into huge sums of money if drivetrain parts need upgraded, or engine internals.

Try these guys

I know they can get 1000bhp from the Gallardo, not sure if they've done a Diablo though.

I imagine he is looking someone in Europe or the UK.http://www.heffnersperformance.com/index.htm

Thing is, nobody will do this job on the cheap regardless of how cheap the car was. They will have to rebuild the engine or at the very least fabricate parts and remap the ecu. Then the OP will expect a warranty while he nails it on every straight after he's left the tuner. That sort of service will cost, a lot as it has to match the risk plus factor in a decent profit margin.
What model Diablo do you have and how much power are you looking at getting.
The twin turbo diablos that were done for Platinum Motors, ran two t4 turbos and ran about 6psi boost for 600bhp and 9psi for 750bhp, i think this was done on the stock engine but it may have had its compression reduced. Allthough as the diablo has a compression ratio of about 10:1 it should be possible to run 9psi safely without dropping compression as long as a good rich tune has been done.
Also the power figures were limited by the VT 4wd system not being able to handle more than that reliably.
If you are thinking of doing this yourself rather than paying the kind of money konig would ask, your going to do a few things to get it running.
Lower compression pistons (maybe not necessary but a lower compression would allow you to run more boost)
Exhaust Manifolds for turbochargers
Twin Turbos, as above they used two garret T4 turbos
Standalone ECU or remapped ECU with bigger fuel injectors
Twin intercoolers
I would think that companys that have built good twin turbo v8 cars would have the necessary experience to help you with your project, but obviously check that they actually know what there doing as theres alot of dodgy tuned turbo cars out there.
Anyway good look with your project, i have always thought a Twin Turbo diablo would be awesome.
Check this link out as it has some info on the VTTT Diablos
