turboing an 8v

[falzsf at mts.net (shawn f)]

very interesting you just asked alot of questions, i have been trying to
find out. Awesome. Ok i cant wait for ultr megasquirt, but would like to get
started. Howver i need to find some other parts so i guess i can wait for a
bit.......Not to familar with mega spark. I can use it without mega squirt?
So right now i could make it and threw it on my 1.8 CIS JH? I will have to
look into this.....
