you can use pretty much any turbo u want... you just need the right kind of piping.

that sounds good because the heads dont cost that much but with mine still bein 200,000 plus i sould go with the swap still right...also will that push as many ponies as the full y8 with a turbo?

you could do a rebuild, but i think the y8 is a good inexpensive way to start, plus there are bolt-on superchargers and turbos made for it.

I'd do the b16 if money is not an option.
