Budget turbo 5.3 vega

[Death trap]

The 5.3l in a Vega will be fun all by itself. "Only a 5.3" is an unfair statement. If you want more power, there are way more cost effective was to get more power with less headache then turbo in a 5.3l in a vega. Replacing the converter, heck putting a used ls1 with a cam and nitrous could probably be done for what it would cost to turbo a ls motor in a vega. Don't think there is a turbo ls vega kit but probably one to just swap the ls in. The all aluminum ls1 will lighten up the nose and finding room for the turbo stuff under the hood will be tough and make simple tasks under the hood harder. I'm all about turbo 5.3 ls motors but the idea of turboing your car to keep the stock converter seems silly to me. Even a screw type supercharger on top of the motor would get you what you want easier
