Which Turbo to Use
Can you tell me if thishttp://fortcollins.craigslist.org/pts/3488039837.html turbo would be adequate for a good-weather-drive-it-on-nice-weekend-days 1980 930?
It would replace the stock 3LDZ and would be installed along with a new headers, Borla Muffler and (probably) Leask WUR. Following fairly soon will be an upgraded intercooler. My ultimate performance-level aspirations are fairly conservative; somewhere in the 400/hp range, which I think it attainable with the mods I'm looking at(???).
On the turbo subjet though, I've puzzled and puzzled til my puzzler was sore, but it seems the more I read the less certain I am as to which direction to go. Given current budget constraints, I'm leaning toward going the local Craigslist route where, not surprisingly, there is a dearth of direct-fit options.
I'm fine with fabbing a new bracket and (within reason) a little tin cutting and oil line adapting if it means I don't have to shell out $1,500-$2,000 right now.
I'm new to the whole NA thing so I could really use a little help.
Thanks!
