Pinto/Kent. NA side draughts or Blow through turbo?

So I'm weighing up costs and power output between these two options on either a kent or pinto motor, the reason being both motors are adaptable to twin DCOE's or 32/36 Blow through turbo. I already have both engines with fomoco manifolds and 32/36's and a Garrett T25 turbocharger. But I only have 1x..

Turbo noob question

I'd like to know what is a good cheap option for a low-mid boost application for a 2ltr motor. Also one that is easily obtained second hand and easily installed, I'm thinking an internal gated turbo is easier from a custom fabrication point of view.

Clutch options for turbo pinto

As the title suggests, looking for options for a new clutch. What have you used, or had built to suit 200-250hp turbo with a std 4sp or type 9 box? I had my last clutch built in Perth by a guy that called himself autoclutch, but he's closed down now. It was just a heavy duty pressure plate wit..

standard oil pump

Hi guys, just wondering if the standard oil pump will be able to cope with a turbo. Or should i put a aftermarket pump in as i have to remove the sump for oil lines. It is only a standard pinto running 6 pound max (for now). Any input would be great! Thanks Steve..

Water & Methanol injection (E85)

Any ideas on whether water/methanol/ethanol injection is effective enough to convert an NA engine to turbo without decompressing? I guess it will relate to comp ratio, fuel octane and boost so I'm talking about 10:1cr, 98oct and 14psi for arguments sake..
