I have done what you see in my sig. I could either get a turbo and install it this winter...ORRR build up a motor, I was thinking 347. I wont be able to have the motor done for a few years where as the turbo will/could be installed this winter. Either way I hope to have both down down the road.

What else would I need for a turbo setup? Larger Injectors, MAF, Fuel Pump...what else?

well the thing about putting the turbo together this winter is that you have about a 6 month waiting period for a turbo kit, so by the time you got it it would be january/february.

Even with that in mind, go turbo!

Another thing to consider...

You can't afford a motor for a few years, but you're going to fab up a turbo kit...

An improper turbo setup will waste your motor is seconds. Literally.

Then you're F'ed.

3 Stangers here are going turbo after riding in my car. 2 of them already have blowers and are selling them. I just ordered my T-76 and can't wait to slap that big bastid on.


Turbo is the best way to go.
