Its not that easy. Look at turbobricks.org and read the article by Philip Bradley. Your engine's compression is higher than a turbos. It will probably cost you less to do an entire engine swap from a 740T, (you'll have to use an engine that is newer than your car according to law) but this might create some spacing difficulties (the distributor in the 740's are cam driven, located at the rear of the engine instead of the front like the 240s). Manifold needs to be changed, fuel mixture, etc, etc. Not to discourage you, but its a SERIOUS job. The wrenchheads around these boards will tell you it isn't, but it is lightyears away from the mods you have done. I don't know your expertise, but if you know how engines work and how to tweek them, then it won't be much of a problem. But, its not a simple "add a turbo and intercooler and go" type of thing. How bout a V8? Or maybe take the loot that you were going to spend on the conversion and buy an entire 240 or 740 T. They can be had, decently running, for pretty cheap these days. You'll just have to do some maintenance on them to get them squared away.
