turbo conversion

I remember Suprra Girl mentioning that conversion one time and if she ever comes back maybe she can let you know, it sounded like it worked pretty good, but I think you just couldn't boost it as much because of the higher compression ratio of the N/A engine. A lot of stuff to change out though, and not the least of which is the oil feed and return lines and water lines to the turbo, but anything can be done. Find and complete turbo donor with a dead engine and you can do it.

I thought about doing it with my 87 N/A but I found another turbo 87 and am glad I didn't have to try changing it over.

Let us know.
