It's Not a Gen 2 but I do Run a Turbo.
I have a 383ci. Stroker with a Turbonetics (T-91) Big Thumper Turbo. I also have a Spearco Air-Water Intercooler, Canfield Aluminum Racing Cylinder Heads, 96# Injectors, & Custom Hogan Sheetmetal Intake with 90mm T/B. I made 905rwhp on 16# Boost last year at 3,300 Pounds with Driver. I hope to run some mid - high 8 Second Passes this Year.

Well I basically sold everything off my truck except the short block to help finance the turbo set up so I'm kind of locked into this turbo deal.
My turbo should finally show up this week, its been on order since the first of January. Intercooler is here and is almost installed, there have been a few problems with that.
New cylinder heads (4V) are at the port shop, the blocks in the machine shop and hopefully by the first of May I will have all the exhuast plumbing done.

I got the FR500 heads and then they went to the weld shop to have the manifold flange built up so I could use a navigator intake gasket. I've decided to build my own manifold.
