Be different..throw a 76mm turbo on that and you'll have plenty of room to grow and get better mpg than that blower. If I ever build another it'll be turbo build.

Anyone know a good modular builder in the Midwest? Mines starting a little cold start knock.
I bought back those 2v engine components to start fresh and now I have a set of heads to go on

Realistically what is the pricing for a turbo build? I know the round about price for the fuel system upgrades and the turbo itself, just don't know **** about the rest of it lol

What intake manifold would you run tho. Wouldn't the stock plastic one not handle boost? I don't think there is an aftermarket metal manifold. I guess a 99 manifold could work
