I am thinking about switching my n/a to turbo. Since I have both how hard would it be and is there a writeup on this?

I read about how people are ripping their engines apart all the time and porting them or experamenting with them. How do they buy the rebuild kits and where? The only one i found is at the dealership for $1,000+. And also what tool is used to port?

From what I've read, some beginners will use a dremel, while other folks may use a die grinder. I believe the grinding bits are carbide, which come in many shapes for different contours.

I have an 88 n/a and an 87 Turbo II. Well the Turbo had a small fire above the exhaust and burned soem sensors and wires and all the hoses, and I was thinking if I should switch over the turbo stuff to the n/a, sell it and get that supercharger I have seen, or just try finding all the parts to fix the Turbo?
