Ah I needa take a trip down to austin so you can do my car.

I've been thinking about doing the turbo but I still need to do more research so Ima just keep it simple with heads and cam right now.

Are you following a guide somewhere?

Wow! I think I know how you can pay for next semesters tuition Fondle...Tell us, is your motor original or rebuilt? Mileage on it?

Re: I am the FondleMonster- and i has a turbo(build thread)

motor is completely stock, and the original motor to my knowledge, 140k on the odometer

Thanks...Do you have any reservations whatsoever putting a turbo on what some might consider, a "worn" engine? Is the rest of the drivetrain original as well?
I ask because I was under the impression that you don't want a substantial boost in power on a tired drive train and start breaking things.

Anyone else who has added a turbo on an older stock motor want to share? If this is not considered a problem then I would think my 82,xxx car would be good to go for this mod.

Fondle, what you have invested so far? It appears to be a mix of new and used, right? Lastly, what would you say is your level of mechanical aptitude? Is this a job that an average wrencher can tackle?
The most I have done is a head gasket change (both sides) on my suburban.

well i have never touched an engine before, only thing a have done is basic bolt ons, so i wouldnt consider my self a mechanic, im just a 19year old college kid whos bored enough to try it

i am a littler nervous about how the motor will hold, but its a chevy so i have some faith lol

anyway, some more porn!

I didn't think it would fit down in there but it looks like it did, congrats. I'm going to try to mount mine further up by the ALT. but it is smaller then the MP70.

Oil drain and hitting stuff would be my concern, even with oval piping it would scrape on places I drive here. Even with my car lifted and getting bigger tires.
