How? Maybe on a track with NOS, but besides that...?

Been looking at this motor set-up as a possible swap next summer
for my car. Looks very promising for the price. Just sent an email
to the company for more details.

In the mean time gonna just start all the bolt on stuff and then
transfer to new engine.

i'v got a low mileage GTP38 i picked up for $130 as a low mileage turbo from a chebby 6.5L turbo diesel i got for about the same money. mig weld turbo headers and IC piping and find all the other parts on EBAY or swap meets and it can easily be done for under $2000 and has been done before by 3.8 guy's. not ideal but the Holset H1C is HX35Y from dodge turbo diesels can be scored cheap too and make good power on the 3.8
