Re: 250 L6 turbo? What do you think?

I built a twin turbo setup on my big block corvette years ago and am really pleased with the results. Built all the hot side and cold side and modified my own carb. Took all winter to get done but it sure does put a smile on your face when the boost comes up. I built my motor to take some abuse and run up to 15 lbs of boost. You should be able to run 5 lbs without any problem as long as you make sure you arent detonating and or running lean and run conservative timing and it will probably surprise you how much more power it will add. I wouldnt be too concerned about exhaust ports, ect for street use. If you were out to extract every bit of power for a drag car then yes but for a cruiser it will work fine. I am running stock cast iron oval port heads and they work great.
