I got a quote about a year ago for my 88 camaro and believe it was 3000.

Re: STS Turbo on a 3rd gen??
just build your own rear mount system if you have a welder, its rather easy. A lot easier then installing a turbo in the engine bay.

Anybody think it'd be worth the $ turboing my 305 tpi with 130,000 on it? or should i look elsewhere?

Re: STS Turbo on a 3rd gen??
I think money would be spent elsewhere. Possibly rebuilding the engine, transmission and possibly beefing up the rear end. With this setup, your going to spend a load just on the car just so it can handle the power your going to want to achieve.

Re: STS Turbo on a 3rd gen??
of course, build your turbo set up on the 305, work out all the kinks and quirks in the turbo set up, get it so its how you like it. Then go out and build a forged 350 swap your turbo set up you built for the 305, and since all parts are inner changeable you'll now have a boosted fully forged 350(+). Up the boost and enjoy.
