or you could just get a hand me down from one of our big brothers (FC FD)when they upgrade those turbo's. Would be more than enough for your typical FB owner and cheap, which we all are.

Nope your wrong. Thats going to cost alot because 1 and FC turbo is going to be wipped the **** out of, so it'll need to be rebuilt, or it might grenade your engine first, then need a rebuild. An FD turbo setup will cost about $2k to get working right on a stock 12A then grenade the engine in about a hour or week.

Keeping to the Nikki, with slight modifications, then with secondhand t03/4 you could possibly get a set-up working for around $500. But why not visit www.rotaryshack.com to get an idea of what new components will cost you?

But be warned, going turbo will quickly show-up any weakness in your engine or transmission.
