isnt the 01+ engine the dual overhead cam duratec engine?? if so, completely different.
doesnt mean you cant boost it. there's starting to be a nice following with them considering the compact classes in NHRA and they are direct competitors with the ecotec engines in the chevy vehicles...
lots of focus's putting out big hp #'s with hairdryers.
I'd first see if SCT supports the ECU. if it does. then it's just a matter of getting good rods/pistons and fabbing up turbo header (or possibly buying one) and tossing on a turbo and some bigger injectors/etc.
sounds a lot harder than it is if you know where to look.
I would honestly do some digging instead of going back quite a bit to a single overhead cam engine like the 88 TC engine...
edit: you live in so cal. might as well give up man. you'll never EVER pass visual or sniffer using either a TC engine OR modding the existing one haha.
the smog nazi's RULE that state with a hardcore iron fist. thank god I live in SC and dont even have emissions
