I was wondering if anyone has ever attempted this. I have a 88 Ford Tempo 2.3 HSC motor. I was wondering if anyone has ever attempted to turbocharge this motor. I bought a turbo off of a 88 Ford Thunderbird turbo coupe, which was also a 2.3. How much work do you think I would have to do to install this to my motor. To mount it I was going to have a custom header made to mount it. I also found there is already a spot on the oil pan to install the oil line.Has anyone ever attempted this? I would really like to know if anyone has ever done this or if you could give me some expertise about turbocharging. I have a little experience in cars but I am only 15. I plan on using it for drag racing and I figured it would give me some extra umph. Also, the motor will be going in an Escort GT. If you could help me it would be greatly appreciated!
