I am watching this development.  Would the turbo not stress the engine too
much?
Whatever happens, I would like to see it.

I'm now in the mood to change out the old chevy v-6 and put the stock
wasserboxer back in the van, with a catch... I'm going to be
turbocharging it. >:D
The turbo is from a civic.  I will be using the extra oil cooler I
picked up for my rx7, and an air/water intercooler(another oil cooler
from the rx7) so as not to lose ground clearance.

If anyone in the md, va, pa area wants to donate some time to help, it
would be appreciated(if you can, I don't really need the help, but
it's always more fun with more people. :) )

anyways, pics are online at:
