I’m going to suggest something out of the normal opinion. Leave the stock 225 alone, completely stock, and build your turbo kit, and run the crap out of it. Most first time turbo builds bite the dust early on and are a great learning experience. Use this engine as a learning tool. In the mean time find another 225 and have it on a stand and slowly build it in to the boost ready short block. Also, read, read, read, as much as you can about turbocharging. I’ll suggest (again) the book “supercharged” written by Corky Bell for all kinds of theory. And any other book Corky wrote is worth the money. You MUST limit timing while under boost, but don’t want it pulled back when cruising. Spend the coin on an msd6btm you’ll thank me. And it will work for points. The stock fuel pump will barely keep up with a warmed up slant. Use some type of electric pump and a fuel pressure regulator referenced to boost as you need to increase pressure directly proportionate to boost. IE 1:1. This should get you started. I’m so glad a 15 year old has this much interest. Stick with it and ask as many questions as you can. Happy Hot Rodding.
