I did a search for "turbo" and was surprised that I didn't find any threads on adding a turbo to a stock 1.7, 1.8, or 2.0. Is this not a possibility or just not a good idea because of reliability and longevity issues? What would be better for 160-180hp, turbo a 1.8 or swap in a 6? What would be cheaper?

yea, it's going to take a while....I dicked around on my engine with the LM-1 (which rocks) and the megasquirt yesterday.....I just had my motor tuned up pretty well when the MS had some rare hiccup....every single parameter changed....the entire VE table was reading 255 and all of the MAP/RMP bins read 25500 (I'm the second person to have it happen since the MS has been out in the last 3 years)...now I have to reprogram the MS from scratch...I might swap out the microprocessor to play it safe...it's only like $8 or so for a new motorola chip.......
i don't think the HP I am attempting to squeeze out of it is asking too much....as long as it lasts a few months I'll be happy.......the motor was just a few hundred bucks (not including the perfect 2.0 heads) so I consider is "disposable" if I happen to turn the boost up high enough to send a connecting rod right out the top of the case..oh well...
