    Hmm.

    My M20 has a billion miles on it, I want to either go S50 swap or M20 Turbo. Not sure how my engine would hold up. If you don't mind me asking, could you PM me the total amount you think you've spent on the turbo build? I'd love to do it some day...

        Did you use a stronger head gasket?

            +1 for this.

            It's nice to see someone boosting the ol' M20 as well. I have a spare motor that I stroked to 2.8L with eta rods and whatnot. I'll be running an H1C Holset and using Megasquirt as my management. I was contemplating on boosting the current motor, but the last time I did that, my S13 was down for 6 months for a rebuild. I've learned my lesson on trying to boost a daily and barely succeeding. lol

              It's a cheap engine to do it on...if it blows up I'll just pick another one up at the scrap yard and do it again lol

                              Here are a few more pics of the progress...I got the down pipe
                              made and also the hot side of the intercooler pipe done. Now just have to get the engine harness done and crank her over.
