There's that lag I was talking about. Regardless I wouldn't mind it lagging a little bit. Makes for a better daily driver in my opinion lol.

Personally I like the intake route for real injectors, more ports for temp. sensors etc, fuel rails, medium rise & a bit better air flow.
350 huh? I was expecting more, but that's still a good number. My Integra is putting down about 260whp and it's pretty zippy as is. I think the intake would be the best route to go.

I really hadn't planned to do much to the exhaust. I currently have a hollowed out catalytic converter and a stock exhaust system, I was thinking of either replacing the cat with a high flow, or just welding in a straight pipe. The stock muffler is probably going to be replaced as well. I don't want it too loud, but I do want it a little beefer sounding then stock lol. I didn't expect to get better MPG with a turbo. Honestly I kind of expected it to go down a little. I suppose the marine intake could help things flow a bit better though.

I'll look in to the websites you listed there. I'm not sure if I can track down any shops that will tune it. I've looked in the past and had no luck locally.

Oh I know how that goes. You learn and get some experience along the way. It's all worth it in the end i'm sure, haha.


Thanks again for all the replies! I have a lot of reading material I can look in to now. I really appreciate it. Any more comments/links are also appreciated.

There is a lot to say about putting a turbo on a blazer.. for the money you'd be spending (since I doubt the stock internals could handle anything above waste-gate pressure, or 10psi give or take) I would think it would be easier to just supercharge them, as you wouldn't have to screw around with mounting it in the rear (which im not sure i totally trust..) and the supercharger being belt driven would put it comfortably in the engine bay, where it belongs. Turbo's are nice for big power, but to get said big power, takes big bucks. Just my .02.
