Wow what a great group of responses! Thank you to everyone who has given input so far. I obviously have a lot to research. I was entertaining the turbo just as due diligence to consider all options while I have the motor torn apart, but hadn't really seriously considered it...until now! Now I'm flat out excited about it!

Quattrorunner, would love a ride along when you get the car back.

One interesting thing is that when you pop the decklid on a turbo car, you get an intercooler... It's a lot less pretty, but it definitely says "turbo power!" This would allow me to change up some of the cosmetic stuff I had planned and implement a more basic, but clean, engine bay.

Tippy you mentioned the stock 3.2 intake and cams being bigger which is an advantage. I had planned on replacing the cams with something more aggressive for the ITB setup, but with the turbo setup, you are saying I could regrind my stock cams and save a little money that way?

Also what's the deal with twin spark in regard to Turbo? My understanding of it is that it helps with higher compression engines, and since Turbo, by their nature are lower... I shouldn't need to go twin spark anymore.

Thank you again to all the contributors!
