[Supras] needing parts to go turbo

[Sean Cavanaugh]

my N/A block already blew up so i already got a turbo block in there. it 
just has N/A externals. and i got a turbo tranny for it already (one that 
was in car with the turbo. the turbo block is better to use due to the lower 
compression ratio, the oil injectors, the oil passages for turbo oil flow. 
Can you turbo the N/A block? yes but it takes more work to make it stable 
but it CAN be done.
