Question who has done a turbo conversion

I here talk of doing N/Ato Turbo II conversions, and basicly know how to do it , but was wondering who has done one. The compression is going down so I would rather put a turbo in since I have to replace the motor anyway. I already have most of the parts in my basement, but befor I start, I want to know how many successful, and unseccusfull conversions are on the forum.

I converted my '90 convertible to a turbo. I got to 325 hp before the apex seals went. Be careful about running lean.

Hey, good to see you on here... remember me? (Black 'vert, we went to lunch at the dyno day.)

I got the TII drivetrain in finally... no engine yet. I still need to talk to you about modifying a dual pulley... and a fan shroud.

I saw that you had started your conversion. Lets get together and do something about your fan and pulleys. PM me.
