Why is it nescessary to buy new pistons, gaskets, and O-ring the heads
with a turbo but not a blower? (The intercooler I can certainly
understand, although a blower isn't exactly an icebox either...)
I'm not flaming you or anything; I actually don't know the answer... I
am tossing around the idea of homebrewing an intercooled twin turbo 360
Magnum for my Dak, so I am trying to learn everything I can now. (Doesn't
cost anything to think and plan; I'd ike to have this thing fairly well
designed before I start buying parts...)
Anyone else out there with any experience or thoughts about
turbocharging who'd like to chime in about what is involved would be most
welcome to do so! :-)
