EDIT: This turned into a build a few weeks in, the good stuff starts around post #40 or so….
TLDR: Click for the Cliff's notes on this ordeal and phase 2, twin charging
First start video:
0-80mph non-intercooled, big pulley:
Walk-around:

There seems to be precious little about it. I've been thinking a lot about it recently. What I've read is mostly people who want 3-400 hp. I can't afford (and frankly, have no business with) that many horses.
I'm decent at fabricating, not at making it pretty, but making it work. I don't care if it's not pretty.
This is what I want: About 200whp, motronic 1.3, as cheap as possible (I have three kids), and above all, completely dd-able.
There's a t-bird turbocoupe s/c and intercooler on cl for $150. I could grab it as a starting point. I was thinking I'd just under-drive it maybe?
I really just want something to tinker on. Something new and fun and not too spendy to dick around with.
Advice?
Oh yeah, I know "turbo, turbo, turbo". I don't want to do what's been done so much already. Thanks for that though.
