Welcome from So Cali. Sweet idea for turbos. everyone out there seems to think blowers are the best pfft! an inline setup with inline turbos could kick some serious rear end. Make sure you intercool if AT ALL possible, it'll keep your head much less troubled and your motor much happier/more powerful. You planning on doing a blow thru or a draw thru setup with turbos?

Welcome to THE board, buncha great folks here, sit down, start reading and conversing and i bet you'll get addicted....

it will be a blow thru setup. right now I'm just trying to get someone to make me the headers that will hold up to the heat. I like the idea of turbos because it seems to be a cheaper way to push alot more HP out of an enigine like this that it is hard to find performance parts for. I had a N/A engine worked up from clifford that would run me 3k to build up and only push 300 hp. so far this turbo setup will cost me maybe a max of 2600 and push hopefully 400 HP and yet with alittle more $$ push even more.

Welcome and it sounds like an interesting engine buildup. Would definitely be different from the majority.

Yeah i'm a turbo fan myself, but that could be because i worked for Garrett turbo. Ehh i was in the intercooling area but learned a li'l about the turbos and what they do. I like them because they dont require engine power to run and can give you quite a bit. What the heck else is all that hot gas good for other than running out the rear of the truck? Good luck with that blow thru, it's a pain in the arse setup on a gasoline motor cuz you'll always be running it rich. It'll be fun though when it's done.

If you are serious about turbos and dont already have them i could probably put you in touch with one of my old co-workers at Garrett. I've gotta call them anyway about a couple turbos for me... let me know.
