Geronimo, how are you still debating joining the dark side? I thought we settled that in a previous thread. I've now got 100 miles of testing and tuning on my turbo conversion, and it's an absolute riot. It's effortlessly making 175 kpa, which is actually a problem since I'm still sorting out the settings for the boost controller.

The 3.2 intake is conducive to EFI conversion because it comes from an EFI setup. It is more efficient than the 930 pancake manifold, so is a good upgrade along the way. In and of itself, I would say the 3.2 intake is actually less conducive to a turbo conversion because it takes up more of the already limited space in the engine bay and none of your original system will mount to it without custom fabrication. With that said, I would recommend the swap anyway.

To the original question: a turbo setup with an intercooler should be fine on the current engine build for the power level you're looking at. The real issue is engine management. I don't know if there are turbo chips floating around anymore. I'm pretty sure the protomotive chip hasn't been a thing for some years now.
