It would probably blow up. Seriously, don't. Souping up a car that old will probably create more problems than you want (i.e. transmission).

It will break it. So go for it. Another one bites the dust.

it would be ok if your car does not smoke have the right tuning I would keep your boost to around 5-7 pounds if you want it to last for atleast 15-20000 miles or more and you did not get on it at every light lol
