Hi guys! I'm planning a build for an '89 740 turbo. And I'm trying to make the the most power that I can on a budget, the build would consist of an '89 b230ft (may upgrade to 13mm rods later if necessary), ported and polished 530 head, V cam, bigger intercooler with necessary piping, and a 3" turbo back exhaust. Now where I'm stuck is what turbo I should choose as the I know the stock turbo is quiet anemic, but I can't afford to buy something brand new to slap in, so I would much prefer something I could pull from a junkyard/pick-n-pull. I would like something that would get me to atleast the 250hp range, but I would love to venture into the 300s. I live in Canada if that helps, should I pull a turbo from something like a Ford 7.3 turbo diesel or would that just be way too big? Sorry if I sound a bit turbo clueless, I've always been an N/A guy. Thank you in advance for your help!
