Re: Turbo

as explained prolly a lot better than me by BabyBluemx3... the compression ratios on an MX3 are very high. (10.5) and this makes it very hard to have a turbo setup that will not blow your engine.

It is very possible, but it will take planning, time, and $$$. If I were you, I wouldn't even think about it. You need to read a lot about turbo set ups, engines, and everything else too... Try to get Maximum Boost by Corky Bell... it is a great book explaining the concepts of turbos and gives you a good idea on how they work.

To answer your question simply, your friend is full of s**t... you can turbo an MX3... but it aint easy to keep it running well without detonation occurring.
