Talking I want to blow-through my bridgeport!

gday,

What sought of modding do i need to do to my holley 465 apart from jetting it to get it to run a turbo? The turbo is from a 2000 MY99 WRX. I know its small but I reckon its all I need. I'm set on doing this but want to know how much its going to take to get it done. I don't want a intercooler. Just turbo with a pipe to the free world. I reckon 5-6psi would be enuff for a bridgeport? I just want a bit more power down low. Should I search for a 12a turbo manifold? Will that be ok to fit on my 12a bridgeport? Then all I need is to get a turbo hat and piping and put it together and tune it. Am I missing anything here? Sounds so simple and I can see it being done soon! Also I have a fuel regulator and holley fuel pump. Should these 2 do the job? Thanks in advance for any feedback.
cheers,
heb.

You need to do some stuff to the carb so it can handle the boost. Something like different floats (they crush under pressure from boost)

Other than that I really dont know what you need...

What seals do you have? Carbon seals and turbo dont mix, and with a 2 piece seal, they can be thrown out the exhuast very easily,
