Courtney did a few 3.0 Estates with a single turbo. They weren't any faster than a normal Omega but were designed for extra mid range torque for the police when the rear of the car was full of equipement  :y

Omegatoy had a 3.0l Elite with an aftermarket turbo, so it is possible.  How much extra power I wouldn't like to say...
