it depends on the turbo my '86 svo made 16# of boost stock and those motors are forged throughout putting that turbo on a stock 2.3 would probably spell trouble but the 2.3 is pretty darn tuff i've had buddies put huge shots of nitrous on a 2.3 stang just trying to blow it up and even after melting half the plugs because it was lean it ran fine after replacing the plugs.
