Default Question regarding undercar turbos.

My buddy has a 92' Sonoma w/ a small block 350.. and the damn supercharger he had on it blew the motor. I'm trying to convince him to go turbo, but he said that he can't .. because there isn't any room, and he would have to put the turbo underneath the truck, and he can't do that becuase he dont know how to get oil back to the engine. I know there's an easy solution to this.. any help?

Get one of the older 3.8 turbocharged gm motors from a GN...one of the ones where the turbo is pretty much mounted on top of the intake manifold

I've rode in an ss truck with a sts turbo kit and in one with an engine mounted turbo kit. They were both fairly quick at 10psi, and I couldnt notice a huge difference in power.

you really won't notice the lag, 10psi from turbo a 1ft away is 10psi from turbo a 10ft away
