If you kept fwd you will rip and bounce tires up the street, though, and it would be difficult to move in bad weather. These aren't like low-torque fwd Hondas - even my low compression N/A can spin the tires in third on damp pavement. I wouldn't think of (well okay, I've thought about it) staying fwd only with the turbo.

My friend Brent did an EJ18T in his 93 FWD Impreza. He RIPPED tires up, they were COMPLETELY slick and he was only running 7psi ona TD04. Then he did an AWD swap.

You said FWD which = 2WD.

You wouldn't be able to spool a turbo from an 18 wheeler. They are more at home on the 15 liter Straight 6 Diesel's that they are acustomed to.

Yeh, that'd be one huge turbo that would never spool up

Make sure it has a 90 degree inlet elbow, and make sure to use proper punctuation in your posts. Thanks.
