How to install 12a Car tech turbo?
Hey guys, I'm trying to help out my dad here. I've searched this site, but I think i need something more in depth to get this thing installed. My dad has an 82 rx7, 12a, gsl or whatever the highest model is i believe, and bought a car tech turbo about a year ago, and still has done nothing with it to get it installed. He says he has the intake manifold, but not the exhaust. He said it took it to a muffler shop and they said that they didn't have a flange for it so they couldn't really help much. I really want him to get this thing on b/c he is thinking of selling the car cause it seems that nobody can figure out how to get the thing bolted up and working. The car is stock besides maybe a header he said. What all would the car need to get the turbo on and working? He says that the turbo is designed to bolt to a holly carb. if that helps any..He also has a turbo from a 2g turbo II as well as the top mount intercooler. Which would be easier/better? If anybody has any pictures of a similar set up, that would help a lot also. Thanks for any help or suggestions in advance.

well if he doesnt have the exhaust manifold...wut excatly of the purpose of the "kit" he should have a exhaust manifold tha bolts on to block...then the turbo to that...then tubing to carb...and any carb preped for boost will work just might need a different carb hat. and hes gona have to tap the front cover for the turbo oil return...and tap into a pressurized oil source to go to the turbo. then gettin back to the exhaust...u may have to get a machine shop to make a downpipe...THEN take it to exhaust shop. seems like a lot of work but isnt that bad. that is if he has the exhaust manifold
