Anyone got any good sorces for information on doing a turbo/super install on a 2.3FI/5 spd? I've got an 87 LX that is driven almost exclusively on the Montana freeways at around 80+mph. When I hit one of these things we have so many of (mountains) the car says "no faster than 50, please". I drive over 600 miles a week so I gotta keep the mpgs up, hense my decision not to swap in a small block. Searching the wrecking yards today, Ford wants $2,200+ for a turbo longblock, this is block and head only, then add on FI system, exaust, etc... Budjet on the car is roughly 5,000 and through ford this would go before the engine is installed.
