Some will say you're project is Bold and Others will say your nuts.

Butt me since I'm really bored. How far will he get. Now taking bets.

5/1 He never gets the engine out in Canada in wintertime.
7/1 He gets the engine out, but can't get it from under the car and the Exhaust is frozen to the ground.
15/1 Tongue get frozen to bottom of clutch bell housing
20/1 The engine gets liberated to a warmer climate. House Cat is strangely attracted to defecating on Valve cover.
30/1 Will have to Drill off your Cam shaft hex bolt.
40/1 Cylinder bore has a big lip on and won't let him remove the old pistons without Honing.
50/1 forgot to break the Tension on the Crank bolt before removing engine.
60/1 Pistons will be to a stock size piston bore while Turbo's are oversized.
80/1 What do you mean I should put in $800 of Gaskets and Seals
100/1 Aren't Stock Connecting Rods strong enough to handle a turbo.
500/1 What.. I need a stronger clutch and pressure plate.
600/1 Short Block assembled and Now realizing the Turbo Pistons have eyelet cuts for 8 Valves not 16.
1000/1 Long block assembled. Now how do I manage the Engine F/A.
1200/1 Ballast Resistor is not matched with Injectors.
1500/1 Engine gets re-installed with Turbo. Looks Fast.
2000/1 Dang.. no Cross over pipe or Blow of valve and Exhaust is to narrow.
2500/1 it starts at all
3000/1 Electronic engine management works and Turbo doesn't explode.
3500/1 Oh yea, the Head Springs are too weak and you will float a valve
3600/1 Exhaust Valves are to small and not sodium filled and melt.
4000/1 and $8000 later a 2 winters, he has a 250 Hp Turbo 924S running 7 psi boost.

Like Sorry Ah, but seriously thoe, if you do overcome all this, you will actually become my hero.
It can be done, but it Won't be as good as a turbo and will still cost lot$.
