There was a turbo'd S10 on here but it had a sbc already. A hotrex special.

www.s10forum.com go to teh 2.2 section and there is more than enough infor about teh manifold.... but the guys on there dont know ---- about turbos..... i have a 2.2 s10 and i looked into this, basically you dont use a manifold, where the stock manifold goes down and under the truck, across to teh other side of the frame.... you basically route the exhaust gasses back into teh engine bay right there and place your turbo in the place of the stock overflow tank.... no manifold needed, basically a remote mount kit thats placed in your engine bay

it all depends on what he has in it now. you could turbo it and keep it small and lite but if you want a real pavment pounder i would go and swap it for atleast a 350.

just use nitrous till that thing blows up and swap in a sbc, but you will need to spend an *** load to make it get traction, thats why i gave up on my ranger.

Why dick with an S-10 at all? It's got to be one of the worst platforms to boost, swap, upgrade or whatever. Not to mention it's hideous. An S10 is for getting good gas mileage and hauling small stuff. For the $ you'd spend turboing it you could get an EF chassis and at least turbo a non-performance car that responds well to mods and can be made performance. Just my humble opinion, but I'd think your time and energy would be better spent elsewhere, or your friend's time or whatever.
