As I promised earlyier in 2005, my vert is currently in shambles, ready for the High compression 6 port turbo install I have been yapping about for the past several months. The tierd old N/A block has been pulled and the car is sitting with about 4 hours left of work to be back on the road. Im going to run the stock (w.blockoff's) N/a manifolds while I wait on the last few trinkets to arrive for the accelleration beast this car will be. I modified the T2 manifolds to port match the 6 port block and am using the racing beat blockoff's and a racing beat dual alt pulley. I will post some results in a few days as I plan to have it up and running before the 16th. Wish me luck.......

My method of turboing is a little different then Aaron's... He made a spacer for the turbo manifold to fit and used his stock intake components, which works fine, other then the fact that there is quite a bit of fabrication involved in tat process, you actually have to cut the framerails to accomidate the extra few inches of turbo sticking out with his method.

There is a fairly good writeup if you search under 6 port turbo.

It intails using the T2 manifolds, front cover, turbo, throttle body.

The intake manifold that is directly bolted to the block has to be port matched to the 5th and 6th ports- A little time consuming, and to accomplish this you have to fill is an open section of the manifold with epoxi (metal based) or weld it.. Still this is easier and less costly then the spacer. After you have the manifold adjusted all you do is bolt on the front cover, turbo and manifolds and run like the wind. pretty simple. Good luck and just try searching under 6port turbo, tons of stuff should come up.
