Is it possible to add a Turbo to a 12A?

If so, What are the steps, what components do i need other then the turbo, where should i get these components, and where should i get a turbo?

Thanks in advance.

get a S4 or S5 turbo, a 12A-T manifold ...

you'll need a bigger fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, modifying your nikki carb too .. and i'm missing a lot ..

Thanks.. thats a start, but When you get all the info, could you Pm it to me? Im in no hurry, take your time.

 

check the FAQs

 

You expect him to do your research for you?

 

SEARCH NOOB!!!

Sorry, but this question has come up A LOT in the last few months. It is possible, and in more than one way too. Check the FAQ and search. I can guarantee you will find all the info you would ever want on blowthrough and drawthrough setups. I actually posted in a thread with a bunch of good info on drawthrough setups about 2 weeks ago.

 

Damn lazy canadian, search and figure things out yourself! Here's PLENTY of info to get you started. If you can't figure something out, search because it's already been covered. If you still don't get it, form an INTELLIGENT question and make a new thread.

-TurboII Exhaust manifold - oval bolt holes, grind exhaust path 5mm inward on each side.
-TurboII Turbo
-TurboII Wastegate
-Nikki(stock) Carb w/mods done to handle boost(or a different carb of your choice)
-Either a 12aT intake manifold or use an exaust manifold that places the turbo farther from the engine or else it won't fit.
-Turbo Hat for Carb
-GSL-SE Fuel pump
-Rising rate Fuel pressure regulator
-New fuel lines
-Drill hole/put in fitting in engine front cover for turbo oil return line
-T fitting where the oil pressure gauge gets it's reading from for turbo oil feed line
-Lock dizzy
-Downpipe for exhaust shop to connect the rest of the exhaust to

come on, don't be too rude with him, i know he has to search first .. but... it doesn't mean Canadian are lazy,

 

LoL, I'm just kidding about the canadian part I gave him a list of everything that needs done to turbo his car. It kinda gets annoying having this question asked every week, especially when it seems like the person isn't even serious about doing it to his car.

 

dont take what they say to heart, im doing it, and once im done i would be more than glad to help you through PM

 

yeah i know .. i know .. i'm still undecided on what to do .. go turbo .. or stay N/a lol .. or buy dad's FD and pay 6000$ per year in insurance ish

 

Damn, that's some expensive insurance! I pay $1000 a year for my FB and I'm 18. 'Course they don't know I put a turbo on it....

 

I didn't mean to hurt anyones feelings with the noob comment. I've just been annoyed with all the "can a 12A be turboed" threads that have poped up in the last month or so. Some are not even 2 pages away yet.
