how much should i have payed? No idea. You will find out soon enough
how deep have i got myself? Deep. But no so deep that the shit gets in your mouth :lol:
what else do i need?Also need: Webber carby to suit turbo application, fuel pump, intercooler and plumbing, re-graph the dizzy, exhaust and intake mods, and a VERY good tuner who knows what they are doing with carby turbo systems ( and they are VERY thin on the ground)
what sort of gain can i expect? without knowing the condition of your motor, I can say with confidence that you will destroy it if you run more than 7psi and don't do some internal work. This means you may see a gain of 20-30%, although I would suggest it will be on the lower side.

An Important thing to remeber is that 20% of nothing is still nothing. you may gain 15-20 KW at motor at best. Not worth it in my opinion.

Bill Gates never did his homework, and things worked out alright for him... :?

The simplest way to fuel it is LPG, turbo's love gas. But Sierras dont, there is no room for the tanks unless its a weekend warrior with nothing to go in back.
