wow. LS TURBO. Lucky bastard. An LS is a PUUUUUUURFECT motor for boost. Turbo kits can be had cheap, MD420 is selling one for like 500 bucks. All you need is charge piping. Boost it.

I was going to say swap it then boost it, but since you already have the swap.... boost it!

I found the post about the turbo, but says it is for a D series motor.

the turbo is to small for your application, it would not do a B18B justice.
