welcome..

i have a similar plan for my 3b.. there are some expensive after market options... :? as for the 13bt, from what i understand these motors are the same unit only one is turbo'd.. maybe just need to check the mount points on engine etc.. see if all appropriate bolts and/or holes are present for mounting the turbo onto your 3b as the 13bt may be a bit different....

will be interested in responses and sorry i cant help.. :roll: :D

if you need any pics or info on the 13bt.. i have one outside.. i believe that a 13bt is a 3b turbo'd.. so basically its a manifold (for mounting turbo) a ct26 blower is standard on a 13bt. up the fuel i guess.

I not sure what other stuff. i run my one at 17psi on full boost.. intercooled. with no trouble..YET

Id recommend axeing your exhaust too.. probably run bit hotter. I have basically no mufflers on a 1.5m pipe
Dont follow me. i'll get stuck and need a tow..
