Cheapest Turbo/SC setup

Alright guys, i seriously want to make more power outta my wimpy 305 TPI.

How much would a junkyard turbo setup cost, i'm thinking twin turbo or one big junkyard turbo. What cars came with good turbo stock that i can call the junkyard about?

I've noticed froma quite a few people that turbo setups are quite easy to install, and i think if i use one on mine, it will be intercooled so...


Also, what fuel injected cars came with superchargers that i could use on mine. I think someone on here used two Grand Prix GTP superchargers in his car, but i dunno. Was that you i'm thinking about Saturn5????????



Thanks,
Shane

Not Gran Prix, but supercoupe M90's. I've got ~$800 in the twin M90 setup, but mind, I did all the fabrication, working out bugs, etc. It's not a project for a novice, or someone without a garage full of tools, (autocad helps), and a butt load of time, patience, to see it thru. BW
