[TR] Super/Turbo charging a TR 4 pot? (was Classic Motorsports Article on Supercharged TR6)

[Don Spence]

What about the possibility of using a turbocharger & intercooler   
from say a Mazda 626GT or Ford Probe. Both used a a 2.2L 4 Mazda  
sidewinder engine with turbo and intercooler . The capacity seems  
about right. Would the TR engine take the added stresses?
