turbo's on a Corvette

Ok guy's maybe I did not give you the right info. I have a 1980 Corvette with 2" round exhaust pipes. I want to adapt turbos to the car. I have seen turbo unit with square flanges that bolt to the exhaust manifold. Since I am going to a round pipe I need some type of turbo that will take a round pipe or some type of adapter the will allow me to connect a 2" pipe to it. Also this car is carburated so I need to make or find a adapter that fits a 5 1/4" carb opening. if any one has any suggestions please let me know. thanks Joe

Re:turbo's on a Corvette

usually you dont bolt the turbo to the actual exhaust pipe, you put it on the manifold. But i have seen v8 setups that run piping to the turbo, in which case you would need to weld a flange onto the pipe that matches the turbo.
