turboing !12a

ok i have a 12a and i have a turbo that i can hook up but i was told that since the 12a wasnt made for turboing it will mess up the motor big time and wont add much horses

12a vs 13b stock for stock the 12a is a better canidate for boost because of the 3mm apex seals
thats my opinion at least

74-76' 13b 4port has larger stock ports and it has 3mm apex seals.

but the 12a has higher compression. Still can safely be done though

I'm power hungry, if have to get a new core I will always get the bigger one.
Only thing with my 74' 13b 4port is I really can't put a turbo on it.......bridge ported already.:-)
