Turbo Charging a V8 advice needed

Oh yeah. I truly don't see the point of switching to an auto. An auto will be a lot less fun and blunt the performance. If you are looking at this mod for speed and fun, then an auto isn't the way IMO.

Thanks for the quick replies. with the mega squirt I was looking at these Megasquirt for V8 engines - Complete kits but a fair bit of it looks un-necessary to make it work, I think the whole kit I was looking at is more for waterproofing maybe? or do I need all of it? surely it doesn't have to be that expensive.

I forgot a big question and that is "what Turbos to try and get hold of??" im thinking of searching the local breakers/scrap yards but im not sure which cars to look for... any ideas? I guess something common so I can find two the same.

I've got twin turbos on my v8 in my Hotrod, it's the janspeed kit that was designed for the sd1, running only 8psi boost max, it's a draw thru setup so doesn't allow for intercooler, running on twin 2"su carbs from the big old jag.
