I have the turbo fever again and needed info on the B230FT. Is this engine a better than the B21T and B23T? would this be the way to go over my great B230F? Advantages and disadvantages if any of this? There are no issues with the B230 in my 87 and should be good for at least 250 to 300k more miles but I want more power. I have been thinking of converting it to turbo but it was not designed for a turbo. A lot conversions have been done with little issue but my gut tell me I will want more that the 54 HP a 5-6 lbs of boost will give me. I figure a B230FT should have better/stronger pistons, rods etc. than a B230F. Any info and thought will be helpful. Thanks, Greg
