special vehicle operations.

i am not sure of all the differences between a n/a motor and a turbo motor

special vehicle operations.......i have only had one svo,it was a factory turbo 2.3.

The turbo motors are build " different" to handle boost. I *think* a different cam, intake manifold, of course the turbo exhaust manifold, different compression ratio among other things. This is all what I was told when I owned my old Turbo coupe mind you, so I'm not 100% sure if this is correct

Different block compounds (more nickel in the turbo)
Lower Compression
Forged Pistons
Different combustion camber
Exhaust manifold
Injectors
Turbo
Drain hole (oil)
Other than that, they are the same
