Turbocharged first gen Explorer pics

I been searching around for a turbo. I seen eBay with the t3/t4 turbo any reviews on them?

Those kits are full of Chinese junk, have you ever done a custom turbo install? Lots of work and tuning to get them to work correctly.

You want to keep it fairly stock, but you want to turbo it?

That and he's in California so I'm guessing it might not even be a legal mod.

And EBay turbos are about as good as gas station sushi.. I’ve seen both in person.

Haha I know what I could get into if I wanted to do a turbo built, internals like valves, more air going in the engine, coolant, I’m not good with electrical only took the basics but I might know someone that could get help with that but like gmcty said I just wanted to see pics. I had a Honda integra had done a dc2 body with b20/18 good compression ready for A turbo to be slapped in there but I sold it. I know this can be swapped with a 5.0. California is **** bro I don’t want to leave but I’m hilly thinking about it lol

try searching for pics of Gen I explorers with SUPERCHARGERS since the supercharger was available to bolt onto the Gen I 4.0 ohv pushrod engine there were plenty of those running around.

You will not find alot of turbo 4.0 ohv running around because:
NO kits to bolt one on
Gen I auto trans go kablooey when you add heat and boost
the gen I computer is not as friendly to tuning for boost as say the 96+ PCM would be
Heat is already an issue for these engines and transmissions
China had not built a all in one add turbo kit and put it on ebay until after the fast and furious movies
