Exactly. If Hector could do it with a blower, I can do it with a turbo. Now I'm pumped up. So what donor car would yield a turbine suitable for my car? maybe the one from the MB 300TD? Or what about from an old audi or mitsubishi? Most of the process would have to be fabbed up custom-like. I guess I could replace the catalytic converter with the turbo and it's piping. I could put a high-flow one down after the turbine. That position would keep the turbine cooled down by the cooling fan and air flowing in through the grill. It would also simplify the running of lines to an external oil cooler. Then, after removing my worthless AC components, the free space freed up would allow for the installation of an intercooler and intake piping. Of course I would need to upgrade the fuel delivery systems and change the computer to operate correctly with boost as well. Speaking of boost, I wouldn't plan too much, as in under 8 psi. I would like to keep upgrades to the valvetrain to a minimum, but if it has to be done, I don't really mind.
I don't think the guys over in F/I would even talk to me about this kind of project so I'll try it here. What do you guys think about my rough thesis of what I want to do?
