Awesome update. One of my instructors here at school (NTI) just got a turbo for his 232 Jeep straight six. He said it a stroker motor (I can't remember the original cubic inches), with Clifford intake, different cam, etc. He said he got the turbo from a Subaru with a flat six. He going to try it and see if it'll work. He plans on using the stock exhaust manifold, but he's going to see how everything will set up with the different systems before he chooses which setup to run. (i.e draw-through or blow-through)
Also, I just ordered some books (Maximum Boost, and Turbochargers) from motorbooks.com I'm planning on that and seeing what I can work out. From talking with my teacher, and thinking about it, the stock exhaust maifold might be the easiest way to setup a turbo on a street vehicle. Depending on what I decide to do, I'll probably go back to the stock exhaust manifold, but have it extrude honed. Very fun stuff. I'll keep y'all posted on what my instructor finds out. Thanks. John.
