turbo question

I have an 87 GXL w/ n/a 13b. i was wondering if it would be a good or bad idea to turbocharge it. if so, how would i go about doing that, as i cannot find a turbo kit for it?

you gotta search on here man.... welcome to the forum. the topic you are bringing up has been covered too many damn times to count! No one makes a kit for it. You would be better off transplanting a tII engine. It is possible to turbocharge the N/A engine though.

would it be a good idea to turbo the n/a motor? or would that just **** it up? instead of transplanting, could i just swap on the turbo II manifolds and stuff then get a turbo upgrade? or should i just swap out for a turbo II motor?
