Well, if you're interested I've got two good turbos off of '88 T-Birds that should work for a 305. I think these were putting out 9'ish PSI on a 2.3l engine - so you should be able to get 5-6psi on 2.5 liters. 10-12psi should make some decent horse. They cost me $330 including shipping, and they're yours for the same. Not looking to make any money on them - just bummin that they're going to be too small for my 383CID... Now I gotta pay for the expensive ones... I have the oil drain back tubes and water coolant tubes also.

Hmm....anyone know of any super cheap headers....or manifolds that would work with those 2.3L bird turbos? What about fuel delivery? Will I need just bigger injectors....a chip....and a little more fuel pressure? Or will it be super complicated? I scored a posi drum rear yesterday off of a camaro....wont even have to change my proportioning valve Oh yeah and what about the air ducting....from the turbo's to the TBI Unit? I was always thinking TBI would be great for supercharging oe turboing because when your intake charge is under pressure it allows for some sloppier fuel mixing....Anyways...I have to get to class

Ok....Jut ran into what might be a good deal....TEO4H turbos any good?? hows about 2 of them for 100 bucks?....but that would be uhmmmm overboosting by a ton...seeing as the put out 15-18 lbs.....so maybe one would be better....that or corvair turbos....they bolt up to smallblock manidols.....but ducting might be a biznorch...ughhhhhhhh

need to think
