A good way to save money on an AIrlocker install is to take the diff head out and just give that to the guy doing the job. That way you get all the factory cover without paying for the dissasemble and reassemble. Also you don't have to get am approved guy to fit it, BUT you may have some problems if something goes wrong. ie Whoever does had better be able to prove they know their stuff.
The best thing about an airlocker is not having it on! There are a lot of times tha a front locker will be a dissadavantage or just dangerous!

? Where is the turbo? There should be plenty of room for both. I had my AC converted to air and ran my airlocker from it. (When I still had TD42T) The only thing to be careful of is you MUST regulate the air to the locker as it can only handle 90psi. I ran my air system as 80 to 110psi (normal air comp adjustable switch) and then had a one way valve to stop back flow through the compressor and adjustable regulator with gauge for the locker. That worked really really well and cost about $200 to setup. (hoses, fitting, regulator etc). I also have an airtank (old 10kg fire ext) and with that I could do a days 4x4 without the comp turning on at all!
