85 NA Turbo conversion

I have searched the archives, and did not find anything specific for an 8 valve turbo conversion. Plenty on 16 valve though. I have access to a complete parts car that was in excellent condition before being wrecked. I have an 85 900S with only 50k on it, so everything is good. I want to turbocharge this car, going the light pressure route, which I assume will get me extra power. Not looking for a race car, but need a little more power. I am capable of doing the work, but would like any practical advice from someone who has done this conversion on an 8 valve and their observations regarding driveability, any pitfalls to avoid, etc. I do not want to do the work and find that the gain was not very much! I am thinking that 4-5 psi would be the way to go, and I figure that the apc system would not be useful in this setup. But, that is why I am asking for those who have done this. Thanks in advance!! Emmanuel.
