12a turbo(to the vets yea someones asking the Q again)

Alright just to let you guys know im not some stupid kid that just happened to get a rx-7 i've had 3 i grew up in hawaii i had two FC's and one FD. I did a 20b swap into one of my FC's and a 13bt into the other one. Left the FD basically stock normal upgrades but back to the Q.....

I need a list of all the parts that i will need to do a 12a turbo its carburated and i kinda wanted to do a push-through but if thats not a good idea let me know i dont want to do another basic engine swap dont worry about time i've got two other cars to drive around and i'm sorry but i have to brag my boss and i put a 302 in a 89 civic hatch back and of course it RWD. But i just want a list of anything and everything i will need and some feedback or comments

And yea i had to sell my babies (rx7's) in hawaii when i came to hick town oh i ment Alabama whooooo Roll Tide or something like that.

Welcome to the forum fellow Alabamian.

You'll need to get a turbo manifold made...or if you can find one then that's good.
You'll also need a carb hat, and a larger exhaust if you don't already have it.
An intercooler and piping.
Oil lines for the turbo
Depending on what year it is...you will want to change to the fmoc.

When you get done with it you should come up to Montgomery.

i think the oil pump needs to be upgraded to a gsl se to help out a bit.
