l27 Turbo thought
I found a local place that can make turbo manifolds and so I am kicking the idea of a turbo l27 around for the 93 regal. would a stock diesel turbo work as a small turbo to just add some getup to it

L27s really weren't meant for boost...i should know :?
If you do boost it, you should only run at most 5psi. And even then, you will need to run a boost management system of some sort. If you want more boost than 5psi, i suggest going to an L67 shortblock.

I have said it a few times... I feel that the rods and wrist pins in an L27 would hold up to quite a bit, as long as its not reved too far above the stock 5200 shift point...
The Pistons would be my main concern... It will be Far easier to cook an L27 piston
