I've poked around and this is what I've come up with and I just wanted to ask the pros/vets on the FI board to double check.

ZPI's stage zero (treadstone too...?) can be slapped onto a stock motor. With the only recommendations are a better clutch and a ingalls stiffy as a intelligent upgrade with the turbo?

What other options are out there for turbo without doing too much/any internal engine work?

 

Before you buy the ingalls stiffy, invest your money into a blow-off valve and an engine management system. I'd then follow up with a wide band air-fuel gauge.

 

Instead of the stiffy, which can eventually break, you can also get motor mounts which will serve the same purpose, probably even better than the stiffy.

You could also get a new clutch, flywheel, intercooler, bov, engine management, gauges, boost controller, timer, etc.

 

If all your trying to do is avoid building the engine, all the stage 1 kits can be run on the stock block as long as you keep the boost levels under 10psi or so. But all boosted tCs will benefit from a built motor.

 

Now is that just the stock block or stock block with stock internals? because I dont have a garage and if I were to borrow a garage it wouldnt be long enough to take out the motor and replace things. So I'm looking for some power without having to crack open the block.

 

Stock motor will take it just fine. Like joe said, BOV. And even though its a stage 0 I'd do some form of tuning. Thats what makes or breaks a FI car.
