BIG 3.8L Swap

ok... i was just looking at a great priced L67 (supercharged 3.8L series II) without the blower. Now I know it's no problem to fit this engine in to my '88 beretta, and that it directly bolts up to my G282 5-speed. My problem is that i'm going to put twin turbos (from the DSM) on this engine, and a large intercooler, on this 3.8L instead of the stock blower. I was just wondering on anyone input as to where i should mount these turbos. I was originally thinking, for the back side, mount the turbo behind the steering column, and for the front side, where the battery is (its getting moved else where). I should also mention that i built a custom front clip for the car , and is made specially to hold the intercooler, and other cooling accessories that i may plan to add. This front clip has alot more room up front than the stock bumper did.
Anyways... suggestions? Open to any reasonable idea....

yeah, i was suprised to hear that the 3.8LII is a straight drop in too. But i guess it fits better into a Beretta than a Gen2 Cavy. Oh well... berettas aren't performed up enough anyways....lol

Re: BIG 3.8L Swap

I would love to get ahold of a supercharged series 2 in my beretta and go smoke my buddy's 97 gtp, he would flip but he deeserves it being all cocky.

i was thinking L67 for the longest time, but when it came down to ordering the engine, i had a flash back of seeing a super fast Grand National. That was when i thought to myself, 'damn i need to turbo that engine'....lol. No actually i saw a guy with a single turbo 3.8L Fiero and thought why not go twin turbo.
Check it out... very cool
