Re: [DML] Performance mods

The DMC Houston engine has been tuned and set up to work as a normally 
aspirated engine. The Island Twin Turbo is a bolt-on kit to start with, 
and the Houston engine is NOT DESIGNED FOR IT.

Any turbo is driven off the exhaust, and actually the Island kit puts 
them exactly where they should be - right on the manifolds.

So if this is the case, a turbo setup and the DMC setup really couldn't work in tandem. I believe (I may be mistaken) that turbo's couldn't have as high of a lift rate cam as say, the Houston set up. The turbo system also wouldn't be compatible with the exhaust system, as I believe the delorean setups are exhaust driven, and require a waste gate. This is all just my (un)educated guess though :-).
