Just remember,you dont just slap on a turbo and go.Its a system which includes fuel and air delivery changes,ignition modifications and exhaust upgrades.The turbo itself is the easy part,a stock TII turbo and manifold are relatively easy to bolt up to a N/A 12A or 13B.Bolstering the rest of the engine systems to make the HP reliable is the hard part.

Agreed, I feel that turning a NON Turbo Car into a TURBO Car takes a lot of work and there are a lot of things that you're going to have to buy. If I were to do it with a 12a the first thing you should buy is an Intake Manifold with a Holley Carb, Get the Car running nicely with that then move on to the Turbo and all the goodies.

actually, i would get a carb that you know will work with boost. no doubt a holley can but it has to be prepped later on. get a weber side draft and when you finally get the turbo stuff, just slap the bonnet on and you're good to go. MUHUHUHAHAAAAA
