KA-T.org. Don't ask stupid questions like this either. Just read and research.

If you can't figure out based on the engines displacement, head flow crossed with turbos spec chart - what type of power and where it is on the RPM scale... then you really should not be messing with a turbo-KA on a daily driver.

Have you ever owned a turbo car? Are you confident in diagnosing vacuum/boost leaks, fuel issues, idle problems and air-fuel ratios? If not, don't bother. Just about any can turn a wrench or follow instructions on how to install/fix something.

Its the figuring out what is wrong that few people can do and that is exactly what you will need to be able to do if you want a daily-custom turbo car.

Guys that do it, and make it look easy are the same guys that when their car bogs at 4k or cuts out at 2.5k or maybe the exhaust is making a pop et al are the ones able to spend a few hours and fix it with out ever logging online.

Further more..

If you are looking for a junkyard DIY projekt, and are handy (or know someone that is) with a welder and the skills to do wiring, et al then a Turbo-KA on a budget will be cheaper/more powerful then a SR swap.

if you are looking to make MONSTER POWER (+500hp) then IMHO a KA will also be cheaper then a SR (both will need complete rebuilds, Engine managment, fuel systems, and new manifolds/turbos).

Other wise, if you want a clean "Factory" driving car with fewer issues, pay a shop to swap a good condition SR into your car. Once in and with a good wiring job, it will be just a matter of owning a 15-20 year old turbo car... parts will break and need replacement over time.
