my advice is if your that honest as to what not do/could do - i would do alot more research first...turbos are tricky little things to begin with...and everything is proprtional and relies on another /all part(s) junkyard turbos take a little math and information...plus hooking up the thing, physical size restrains, manifold building, engine cooling, intercooler - delta t charts, tuning - fuel delivery...on and on...a SC is a little better starting point to learn forced applications...in my two cents...some easy and cheep information was the past few months of HOTROD magazine "how to turbo any engine."

Do your homework, and youll be pleased with the results. - Jake
