I know that down at the local wrecking yard there are 2 cars with 2.3 turbos in them. I was wondering if anyone knew the performance specs for these turbos and what would be needed to build a reliable 2.8 twin turbo. I know I would have to make a custom air box and wastegate but any other ideas on what would be needed?

Divine intervention.

You simply cannot get enough power out of a turbo 2.8 to justify the work.

On the other hand if you simply swap in the complete 2.3 turbo
it'll make FAR more.

It's fairly described as a "Cake receipe" to get 200-220hp out of a 2.3turbo.

Beyondt eh issues with getting two turbos into that engine bay with the engine still there the fact that the two exhaust valves are positioned adjecent to each other in each head it's nearly a miracle that you still
have a running 2.8.
