Humpty on here has that same deal going on, so he's a good contact for what worked and didn't.

Reading material to keep you enthused......

Shimmo's old 1776's made some nice power with only TO2 size turbo. Not mega boost, but for the street they were a bag of fun to drive, using a small turbo Weber blow through. 100 000 miles possible when done right.

Dellortos are decent carbs for turbo side draft setups. You can get them running some good times. If you chuck them on a 1776 there is no reason you couldn't get 100bhp with some tweaks. Great base and also some good fun can be had. Get the turbomania book if your doing this yourself

Loco 66 on here had a nice lobuck turbo 1600 to4 45 a sd Dell and a little nitrous kit it went 13.2 or 13.3 at 100plus mph.although it was a streeter to me it was not looked upon kindly by the police!Luke could tell u how much he spent but it was when he was at uni so I'm guessing 5k tops.I have some pics some where will look for them.ps no burnouts
