Timing is easilly fixed with an MSD 6 BTM which will retard the timing 1-3* per PSI of boost.

I'm sure they can, but I've seen a whole lot more of them not work correctly then I have seen work correctly..... Theory and application are seperated by research, trial, and error......

that's why I suggested Barry Grants system, twin turbo's with MPFI, as a kit, performance and drivability all in 1.

I wish there was a Turbo kit made today for 200 I6 fords. there were kits but they stopped making them around 1980 or so. AK Miller was 1 of the company's. I'm mimmiking a simple Turbo system for my 200. www.fordsix.com/forum provided me with most of the info. including modifying the Carter SBC fuel pump ( same opening size and bolt pattern ) with the Ford 6cyl pump rod, for a safe pump that takes boost refrence well. not to mention, working Turbocharged Small 6 buildups.
