350 Straight turbo?

Post by jdsteel1123 » Fri Apr 26, 2013 8:42 pm

Has anybody attempted or successfully installed a turbo on the 3 cylinder gasoline engine? What may spell disaster to this idea.

Definitely can be done. Like any other engine that has had a turbo added that was not a factory installed option, you are increasing HP beyond what the factory designed the drivetrain to withstand long term. How much you are willing to risk in terms of damage and/or potential repair costs will likely be your determining factor.
