There was an article in one of the car magazines a few years ago (I think it was a Mustang magazine) where they did an experiment. They explained how some of the turbo domestic cars were junked, and how the junkyard people thought the turbos were worn out because the turbo had oil pouring out of it, but, in fact, the oil was actually coming from blowby in the engine, and the turbos were actually ok. I think they used something like Chrysler LeBaron turbos.

So they bought 2 turbos, built a plumbing system to use both blowers on a 5.0 Mustang, and tested it. Their theory was that two turbos built for four cylinder engines would provide enough boost for a 302 Ford.

The setup wasn't pretty, but they got it done, and the car turned out to run pretty well. You could see the turbos hanging down by the radiator, so it was not great looking, but they had something like $ 1500.00 in all of it, and they felt the results were really good.

Just thought I would throw this out there.
