Need turbo FAQ

Ok, it looks like alot of people are wanting to do a 12A turbo. And the only thing in the FAQ is the t2 swap. Can any of you guys who have done this write up an FAQ or add to this thread what you did, parts you needed, what needed to be modified, pics would be great.

Also if you could make it kinda a joint project that would be so good too, because not every turbo project is going to go the same. And it will also cut down on every two days getting a turbo question.

Thanks, TJ.

I think nacho cheese maybe a big bag of dorritos covered with cheese in a can. Thats the way to go, but are really big blinking neon arrow on the search function and big bold instructions on how to use it would solve alot of the FAQ. Make that the home page

i can supply a parts lists with part numbers places to get them and prices....
the rest of the work is just making things fit.
www.mazspeed.com has a rough how to turbo your car on a budget faq allready.
its painfully easy to do and really inexpensive if you buy the right stuff from the right places.
