I'm pretty sure I've read of one or 2 guys doing it, and IIRC they seemed to have liked it. I believe it is a little more difficult and more $$ consuming than a supercharger.

Turbos are great, better than blowers. Blowers drop gain the farther you go across your powerband. Turbos are indeed more difficult but if its horsepower your looking for then go with a turbo. That being said, if you want to run a turbo and not blow your block, you need to build your engine to the turbo you want to put it. Otherwise youll blow your block or your top end at the very least. If you cant build your engine, then run nothing more than 7 Psi and id even stay away from that depending on how many miles is on your engine. Build it up first or stick with low psi.
