Turbo in a 12A carb.
I'm looking at turbo charging my 12a with either a draw thru or Blow thru sys. which is best..I don't want to buy an expensive turbo kit..I have a garage full of turbos and intercooler etc....I'm good with a welder and torches and customized many vehicules if anybody has one of these setups post me some pics..I sort of have a plan and an idea how to build it,,I'm planning to use a small IHI turbo from one of my Mx6GT,stock boost is 8.7psi,is this too much and looking for a reliable setup with nothing too crazy..I know I could swap for 13Bturbo or go for the Japan 12turbo but I want a custom setup with carbs. cause I won't have to screw around with the Ecu..So any ideas or pics please post.I want to start soon..

hit up a search for "12a turbo". there is an awesome full write up on this and a few other guys that have done it too with pics already on the board. one guy "coldy13" i think, just finished his and got it running. should be on the first page i think.

Yeah, shutup kid.
Do NOT do a draw thru setup, blow thru is MUCH better, and easier. Something about bringing the fuel/air mixture through a hot turbo just doesn't sound too good 
I just searched to find the basic list of things you need to do that I have posted before. You can use other parts, but this is the cheapest way I know of to do it.
-TurboII Exhaust manifold - oval bolt holes, grind exhaust paths inward so they match the 12a manifold gasket
-TurboII Turbo
-TurboII Wastegate
-Nikki(stock) Carb w/mods done to handle boost
-12aTurbo(j-spec) intake manifold(stock will hit turbo)
-Turbo Hat for Carb
-GSL-SE Fuel pump
-Rising rate Fuel pressure regulator
-New fuel lines
-Drill hole/put in fitting in engine front cover for turbo oil return line
-T fitting where the oil pressure gauge gets it's reading from for turbo oil feed line
-Remove vacume advance and weld centrifugal advance on distributor.
-Downpipe + whatever you want to do with the rest of the exhaust.
