Becoming a Birdman?

[Rob Robinson]

Kerry, just as an adjunct. In the 3 or 4 years I have been on this forum I
cannot remember anyone having anything positive to say about attempting
an 'after market' turbo job on a NA 3208. Believe me there are some experts
here that could do it, but as I recall they have all said it would be their
special project and it was not for the shade tree guy. I could be wrong but
that's how I remember it.
