I have some questions for those of you with knowledge/experience with
Corvair turbo applications.  I am in the planning stages of adding a turbo
to my 140/4 LM coupe.  I am sorting through the efficiency charts and was
wondering:
What intake manifold temperatures are typical under full boost?
What is the typical peak boost pressure?
What is considered a realistic HP level with a ³stock² motor? (200hp?)

I am currently looking at a Garrett GT2860R with a 55 trim compressor
housing and 62 trim turbine housing.
I am sure some of these questions will only lead to more questions.  Thanks
in advance for any and all info.
