A nice T-72 Roller bearing turbo would fit the bill perfect!
Super quiet durring normal driving.
You can plumb the waste gate back into the exhaust to make that part

Or a Trick twin turbo using 2 stock TR turbo's or Te-44's.
I guess smog would be a problem though......Unless there is a way to get
carb approval.
Oh well...Just a thought.....
Just a thought from a Turbo Nut!
