for the amount of work in volved you could do ALOT of other stuff to make the car fast.ihave to work on turbo charged airplanes alot. they are complex, cranky and in my opinion, really suck. the only reason they are used on aircraft is to increase the aircrafts ability to fly at very high altitudes, NOT to increase horsepower.
unless you are very gifted mechanically or an engineer and have more money than sense, FORGET IT
go out and buy a couple of M5 engines instead.

i have a e12 with a 3.5 swap in it anyone ever put a turbo from a 745 on there 3.5 if so what did u think about it and if so what needs to be changed when putting the turbo on?
