    What if... N/A motor with turbo

    Say I put a newer N/A motor 30-50K in my turbo car and swaped the intake manifold, exhaust manifold and put the turbo on that motor? The higher compression and the N/A cams would add a good deal of power, probably in the range of about 40 HP? In my opinion Toyota plays it safe with the low...
