Has anyone turbo charged a JT-code engine?

[Michael Gough]

Yeah James, I've got a write-up. The write-up is from the very beginning,
from May 2001. This had the stock CIS, 5kt intercooler, '83 5k diesel
turbo...

I've changed a few things along the way (intercooler, ignition bits, EFI).
Both of which are in the archives, or I have the emails if you're lazy and
don't want to look through the archives.
Head swap does seem like a VERY good way to go about it. You'll get the
sodium valves, and you can just pull the whole damn thing off, and put the
new one on the block. You can also match the ports etc. etc. etc. before
putting it in the car.
Let me know if you need anymore help.
