turbo knowledge
well as a true turbo guy (aka;nut), i have learned a thing or two about them.
First the main difference between a bbc and a sbc is displacement. which is everything with a turbo motor on the street. A bigger cid motor will replace the lost torque that is caused by turbo lag. Lag is the tendency to be doggy at rpms where you have little or no boost. now that doesn't mean you shouldn't run a small block, it means you should consider the cubes first. a larger engine (cid) will be easier to drive on the street and will be quicker off the line when not building boost first. Turbos can be very fun on the street and build power that hard to beat. Its possible to build very large small blocks these days. but building them isn't all that cheap when compared to a bbc of the same size.
Just some things to think on, hope this helps.
