how to put a s5 turbo on a 12a
hey guys i'm still new to the nitty-grittys on engine details. I bought a streetported 12a with a racingheader and all of the emissions taken off. I was wondering what all would be involved in putting a S5 turbo onto the 12a motor. I have searched and found a method of using a 12a and 13b flange and welding pipes between the two, but was wondering what else would be involved besides the obvious intercooler. Any help and espically photos would be much appriciated.

Upgraded fuel system
Upgraded ignition system (w/ locked distributor)
Assorted monitoring equipment
Oil Lines
Charge Piping
Downpipe
I'm sure I'm missing a few things
PM me if you're interested in a boost prepped carb/draw through setup. I have a complete package I can sell you including a 12a turbo manifold, boost prepped carb, and turbo plenum (carb hat). PM me for details..
