Of course. My point was that I didn't like things about the car other than the power. Then I got the power back, and the other things I didn't like receded into the background.

Meh, I was stone-cold sober. SWMBO should feel lucky it's not a third orange Javelin...

My bad, I do see what you mean now.
I bought a car like that once. Another forum member was selling a project on ebay, so I decided to help him out by bidding it up to what I thought was a "safe" dollar amount.
Checked email in the morning and I was the winner!
Been there done that. I have a shelf of eBay trophies like that.
I always wondered why the supercharged GM cars at the Pick-n-Pull were missing the superchargers. Now I know why. They sell them for the same $25 they get for a used turbo.
At $325+ a pop in profit, somebody has himself a nice side business.

There's a HUGE difference between the tiny 20-year old Eaton blowers on 3800 V6's and 8-year old complete blowers with intakes from a much rarer model that made the same HP with half the liters.

My point is that if those idiots could strap a Turbo to a Protege, how hard could it be?

Clearly someone has a use for those 3800 blowers.

You can get them to fit on a lot of things.
In reply to Javelin:
They're actually not much different really, the m45(mini), m62(css/irl), & m90(GM 3800) are all similar designs from Eaton.
The biggest difference & advantage these m62's have is the liquid to air intercooling setup. If it isn't included in the setup, you'll need to order a heat exchanger and electric pump(most of us bought one from ford when ours died, because it was the same Bosch part, but for 1/3rd the price of the GM sold one)
