Im sure someone went over this before but if you never re-hash old topics this board would go dead so anyway. What beefing up to a 7AFE should be done before it is turbocharged. Im thinking 10-12psi of boost to start of with. Everyone wants to do the 3sgte swap but i know the 7AFE isn't a complete peice of **** and i think any motor has some potential. If anyone can just share their suggestions of what would be a good pre-turbo preperation on the motor so i can get some life/reliability out of it.

I would say that this could be done if you prep the short block propery. If you started with some custom pistons by JE or another similar company so you can lower the compression to a turbo friendly level of maybe 8.5 or 9:1 and then you can work everything else. I've thought about trying this instead of the 3sgte swap too. I know the 3sgte has way more potential, but I'm not looking to make 400+hp because that is useless for the most part in a daily driver front wheel drive car. Anyways, I think that the 7AFE could be turned into a pretty powerful engine without the hassles you'd come across with the swap.
