my engine is a 3.3 200 I6 so it's not much smaller. it's virtully the same turbo they put on the 2.3 4cyl T bird engines, just the wastegate is set higher on the Buick model. I'v put it through dyno 2000 and the power really gets there around 4k, reading about 200 HP at 3500 it starts to jump very quickly. I have to get a few parts for it, find the oil feeds, ( anybody know where they are? the only ports I found are 1 for the wastegate and the other went to a boost gauge, they both just emptie out into the compressor outlet of the turbo ), other than that everything will be simple.You don't know what you've got til it's gone

Matt, well that might work better, I was afraid you had the little 144 I6 in the early Falcons; that would be a mismatch. Have fun!
