how do i put turbo on my 350 chevy like that on guy did to his 454 69 camaro and it mentioned his friend did it to a 383 69 nova? It was in one of the 2005 or 2006 issues it was a green camaro with cowl hood, stripes, and you could see the air filters on the turbos through the cut out holes in the cowl hood.

The big thing is you'll need to lower the compression of your engine to around 8.5:1, and beef up the bottom end of the motor, and if you're planning on running a ton of boost, install head studs versus bolts.

^^ There is no cookie cutter response for this.  A turbo is pretty much a complete custom application...it depends on the vehicle, the engine, the induction system, what you want to use it for, and a number of other things.  The thread I posted has a lot of information in it.  Read through it and the links provided...then come back with SPECIFIC questions.

You can also check out turboford.net  That site, while obviously ford biased...has a lot of information on turbo applications and turbo sizing.
