because a company made a turbo kit in the 80's and it boosted the 12a to 250 rwhp. that is from 100 w/o anything else.

not sure. someone on here had a pic on another turbo thread just recently. i just found the ad in some old literature the guy that sold it had in his rx7 file. cartech i believe was the company. they're still around but do mainly mustang stuff. they sold their remaining kits to redline performance in cali years ago.

If you are looking to do a Cartech kit, I wish you the best of luck. I have been working on my 12a setup for about 3 months now and don't have much. Still looking to get a mani out of OZ, and bite the bullet for a custom exhaust. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

I see em every once in a while on ebay or thepartstrader.com, they usualy go for a good price, but not too bad. They seem to never have all the parts though.

-try South Florida Performance for a turbo manifold.
turbos are easy to come by.. the carb and cap for the carb is hardder to find than the turbo manifold itself.
-besides that , everything else is basicly stright foward.
