i was wondering if anyone has an idea about this:
can the turbos from the 80's regals and g.n.'s be put on the newer 38's, i have a '93 regal GS, and am very good at custom fab and install work, but before i go nuts, can it actually be done?

You might have better luck trying to adapt the turbo kit from the 3800 Series II. Click here http://www.3800performance.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=CT-TURBO-KIT&Category_Code=PA&Product_Count=0 . It should be a closer bolt on than the GN setup.
