Title: Turbo in a Non-Turbo 1988 T-bird
Post by: unclejess on November 08, 2014, 07:10:28 PM
I've been wondering if it is possible to make my non-turbo T-bird into a turbo.  What I'm getting at is changing my stock 88 into a "turbo coupe". I suppose I could pull the parts from a donor but should I?

If you have all the pieces you need, engine, trans, harnesses, etc, sure. It can be done. People take Turbo Coupes and swap in a V-8 all the time. They all started life as the same kind of empty steel shell.
