bolt on turbo 850 1995

It's not worth it to get a bolt-on turbo kit slapped on a N/A 850. The reason why the EA turbo kit only nets you an additional 40 HP (if even that much) is because the engine internals and compression of the N/A engine wouldn't be able to handle it. For the amount of money and time put in, you're better off just getting a nice used 850 T5. Then a simple chip swap on a T5 will get you 30 to 40 HP for well under $1000.
