Default RE: turbo

you would need to rebuild the motor to handle the boost. if you got a turbo kit you would need to run it less than 15 to 20lbs of boost. if you got the kit you would only need about 12lbs of boost because the stock pistons couldnt handle the amount of pressure. i would be on the safe side and rebuild your motor and that goes for the rest of yall who want to go forced induction or with a nitrous set-up that way you dont blow your motor or worse see your piston go through the block (trust me ive seen it) but if you do get a turbo kit for the $1300 you will see an average of maybe about 90 to 100HP increase with a good turbo system.

your looking to tear the block(bore it and hone) down and rebuilding it, first pistons, rods, crankshaft, camshaft, valves, extensive work to the head for better breathing, better intake manifold, etc your looking at 2000 to 4000 for a really good rebuild.
