Series I Turbo
So recently i have been thinking more and more about a Turbo, though its not in the very near future. I just keep dreaming about it more and more. But one has become available to me and this just threw the dreaming over the edge so now i have questions
A buddy of mine has a '02 or '03 SAAB 93 with the 2.0L Turbo, he saying hes gonna get rid of that turbo for another. And i just started thinking some, he said he'd give me his current one for about $600. I'm not well educated on the turbo deal, but would it work with the 3.8, both are from GM, it would just be a matter of fitting it wouldn't it.
and just wondering what else would i need to go about doing for a project like this
i want some boost

Save yourself an ulser and don't. Friend of mine tried turboing an N/A engine years ago and it ended with a decaying motor that was "touched" too much. If you have an engine where a kit is offered and have the money (S2) then maybe. Even then its a lot more maitenance.

mike1053 is right... the turbo would be too small for the 3.8
If you're serious about it, talk to the guys at http://www.precisionturbo.net/.
That'* where I got my SC34 from.
My friend is turbo'ing his L67 Cavalier, and he got his turbo from there as well. He'* trying to get 500hp with it.
