In all honesty, if you're all gonna be sarcastic about the money I need to spend or what the aftermath is, then don't bother commenting, I'm looking for help to find one, not help to destroy my crazy little dream to make something unique.
All the Van Aaken turbo conversion essentially is, is a kit that bolts a turbo to an engine that cannot take even a sniff of boost sensibly without eventually giving up the ghost hence being low pressure. If you are intent on turbocharging it then all you have to do is bolt on any turbo you can find with a suitable manifold, it doesn't have to be Van Aaken.
