Guy in the power enhancers for sale forum has one for sale. Is there such a thing?

Yes, there was a factory IDI turbo in 1994.

I was going to buy a Banks kit, but I guess this would work as well?

The factory IDI turbo was an ATS system. I don't know how the two compare. When I had an IDI I put a Hypermax turbo on it. I liked it!

Check the motor serial numbers. The turbo blocks numbers started at 1,116,331 and went up from there. Anything lower is a non turbo block. There is plenty of non turbo blocks that can handle a turbo so its best to know what you are buying. Even after you have proven its a turbo block it may or may not be a "turbo motos inside. The turbo motor has a 33mm piston pin size and the non turbo piston pin size is 28mm. They still can handle the turbo but not much boost above 11 lbs.

I'm not going to push 11#s. I just want more towing power. I think 4-5 lbs will do the job.
