I'm also interested in a turbo loader for the VIC-20 Final Expansion Disk Loader.
Final Expansion v3 has a SD2IEC on board. So either a VIC ported SJLOAD or a Easyload turbo implementation in SD2IEC would be a solution for me.
I have looked at the C64 source code, watched it relocating to top of memory and then moved onto something closer to what I can accomplish in 15 minutes of time. I believe it should stay resident in BLK5 for an early solution.

If you are able to port SJLOAD routines to the vic, i may try to implement it on EasyLoad too so if i recognize a JiffyDos drive like uIEC i may use these routines btw for the moment you may use EasyLoad with uIEC by pressing F5 first (disable turbo).
