Turbo a 6 port?

Hey guys well i have a 1988 GXL N/A and i was gonna slap a turbo on it, but then i heard you cant turbo it because of the 5th but mainly the 6th port, but other ppl where like wow its crazy cool to do it. well i wanna know what the storey is with it, so past upgrading my 450cc injectors to maby 550cc primes (outa a T2) and maby 2 680cc secondaries, then the obvious parts for a turbo ie new downpipe, intake, intercooler and manifold, what else do i need? or is it worth it?

Please try using the search feature...this has been covered thousands of times.

The easiest route is going to be to drop in another S4 turbo engine.

You'll need to wire the 5 or 6 ports open, or have them open electronically, as they won't work on backpressure anymore.

You can turbo it, and you can go all out like Aaron and create a bad-ace **** 6 port turbo.
