turboing an 8v

Hehehe .. sounds like a TDi :P
But TDi's only have 19:1 not 23:1
23:1 is just a regular Diesel :)

I suppose you're so totally not interested in hearing about an 8V turbo 
that runs 23:1 compression ratio, 12 pounds of boost and gets 50+mpg,
are 
you? :)

mainly because it had a turbo in it. But turbos always seem out of my
league. However, I know a bunch of you have turbo'd 8v's and I was
wondering just what is the cost. What parts can come from yards, what
has to be bought, how hard is it to find yard parts and what kind of
work does it take? I've looked at the 'kits' people have put together on
vortex and they all seem $1000 or more. The more detailed you are the
better. Like if you put: 4 mandrel u bends, 2 18" pieces of aluminum
pipe - $75 that would be way helpful. Even better, anyone have a tech
writeup on it? Just give me the low-down on what it takes to turbo an
8v.
