I think I know what you are asking

Are you asking what are teh pros and cons of running a turbo on an N/A motor?

If so,

Pros:
more power (if done right and tuned)

Cons:
less reliable
PITA
less potential than a turbo motor
expensive

Where can you get the parts?

Donor car
Junk yard
Forums
Ebay

Good luck!

Turbo II

You are aware that from 87 to 91 they made a Turbo version of the FC right?

It is called a Turbo II or TII for short.



The motors are pretty different from a TII to an N/A. They have different compression ratios, different ports, etc...

The drivetrains are different also.

Basically I didn't include all of this in the CONS category above because I thought it was basic knowledge.

It is probably better, cheaper, easier to just buy a TII than swap an N/A over to a TII.
