hey guys just wondering if any one has thrown a turbo on a tb 42 efi.

what k's did you have on the car when you put it on?

how does the engine cope?

what boost are you running?

did you have to do any internal beefing up?

what did it cost you?

any information at all would be great guys.
cheers.

Have on a few occasions, generally no issue's on a stock short if you keep it under 200 rw kW, heads can be an issue if it has been overheated repeatedly, check head bolt tension and fit valve springs. You'll need management, injectors, fuel pump, as well as the obvoius turbo stuff.
