I'm just wondering if a turbo charger can be added to a FI 2L '81 Fiat engine? Are there major modifications that have to be made or is it a "bolt on" type situation? Just wondering out loud.

Re: Turbo question - no plans yet
fiat offered a turbo in 1981 the adaptation was performed by legend industries, this was a period turbo adaptation. by modern standards that setup is very outdated. the 2.0 will accept a turbo pretty easy. the low compression from the factory helps too. the stock parts will take 12lbs of boost all day. use an oil cooler and an intercooler.

Thanks Beek, but I'm afraid I don't even know what half of that stuff means. Sounds like it's plausible though.
