turbo install, For the 3.0 Options

[iamchappy]

I am at this time considering a turbo install on my 3.0 engine, I would be using the guts of a used bae turbo kit for the 911sc. I know that I will have to do a lot of fabricating and loose some useable storage space in the trunk. I have enough support from those who have had the turbo kit installed on there cars for 20 years, and have sorted all the little problems out.
I now have to justify the need for 300hp, when my car runs great as is, but lacks a little heart pounding thrill.
I like the idea of turbocharging as it is all external, biggest hp gains without internal modifications, and I have the capabilites of fabricating the plumbling. Plus it can be done for less than a pair of carbs.
Someone twist my arm, it's a turbo or it's a new paint job for the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Thanks Rich,

I have had some problems with the turbo passing oil out the exhaust, Originally I thought it was a drain problem, so I built a sump tank, no help, then improved the drain angle, no help, then remounted and plumbed the oil pump lower and tapped drain into lower valve cover, no help, then put in a smaller #3AN line as I thought I
must be over supplying the turbo, no help, put an oil breather in line to oil tank to lessen crank case pressure. Then fabricated a fitting so I could use a nitrous injector jet to use as a restrictor, first with a .59 then a .36, a little help but not cured and I dont like the thought of restricting the turbo from getting oil.
Conclusion, I am sending my rebuilt turbo back to Turbo City who did the rebuild and have them check it out, there is something not right with IT. Not my install. I have talked to others with the same turbo on the same engine that have run it unrestricted and have never had an oil issue. Other than that, the car runs great I will post a video of a test drive soon, you guys will be blown away by how quick I run out of gears.
My next move will be getting the body work done and start making it look pretty. As far as performance I am totally satisfied with the results much more than I expected, I ran against a kid on a crouch rocket bike last week starting from 2nd gear I pulled a few car lengths on him when I hit 5th, when we slowed down he looked over at me laughing shaking his head, he pointed his finger at the teener and mouthed WTF. I would never of been in the race had I still been running the stock 3.0.
I have had no problems at 10lbs of boost, the fuel enrichment and the timing retard all are working great together. I would like to get a couple of pulls on the dyno done over at elite motorsports, to see what the numbers are.
