Came across a quick 'how to' guide to Turbo'ing a B-Series "over a typical weekend" :lol: (I'm sure most of us couldn't get this done over a weekend!)



(I think he forgot to mention the point where he changed to engine management system too! ;) )

Interesting though, shows it is actually quite a simple thing to do...
