Turbo selection

I am wanting to turbocharge my 12A. What is a good turbocharger that can put out good power but still be driven daily?

can we please close this before it gets started.

Do some searching this has been covered. again, and again. and again. usually daily.

To be helpful. Easiest bet is a TII swap becuase it is not overly easy to turbo the 12A. My .02$

Again please search. Trochoid has a link in his sig for the FSM for all 1st gens

Im not saying it hasnt been done, but those who have, have good documentation of the process and is probably the best to read their threads and ask them questions since for the most part everyone has either the tII engine/turbo or a n/a application

Please. Refer to my sig.

EDIT: And what I mean by that is we cannot go a week without seeing the same thread pop up by someone who just signed up. How can I turbo my 12a? Easy, search. It is not like we want to "kill the 1st gen community" as much as educate them in the almighty power of..
