It's possible to put a turbo on anything.

Whether you should is another story. 😉

At least if you blew the 307 up, all of your turbo setup could be transfered over to a 350DX.

Not IF, but when it blows up...
Olds motors don't like to rev too high in stock form. Ask how I know... :lol:
The low redline of the stock 307 won't really allow you to utilized the full potential of the turbo.
That motor is just all around a bad candidate for it.
All the parts you'd have to buy for it to make it worth while would be better applied to a 350DX, or better yet, a 455...

Go drive a Trans Am with a Turbo 301 V8 and see how it feels.
The disappointment will be about the same as if you put a turbo on a 307...

But... using that logic, it wouldn't make sense to turbocharge a diesel, either. Sorry, but a properly matched turbo will boost power in the correct RPM range for the engine

That is very true and unrelated to the first statement

And this is the real issue. For a fraction of what it would cost to assemble a turbo setup, you can build a 455 that makes more power and torque.

Good point... I didn't even think of that...
