I've been giving some thought to installing one on my 1600 DP. Wondered if anyone else has done it? Does it fit under the body? Which turbo was used?

Yes, I did install a turbo on a 1600 Singleport type one. I got as far as running it on the ground and attempting to install it. I found that in order to install it, I would have had to cut the Brad,s body. Therefore I conose not to continue. I paid $45 for the turbo from a SAAB with a 2.1 L engine. I tapped the sending unit port for the turbo's lubrication and let it drain back through into the valve covers. It was a "blow through" installation pushing the air through a single barrel carburetor. The intent was to find a cheap alternative to the large diameter multi-barrel acrburetors and reshaped ports type performance modifications that are so expensive and the normal track that people take.
I will try to find the pictures I took of the setup and post them here later.
