well if you are turboing a NA you'll be doing alot of fabricating and what not. Arroon cake, a mod in the 2nd gen forums has a writeup. I think it would be similar in a first gen. If done right you can run higher boost but you timing must be right on or you'll detonate. If everything goes well the high power of a high compresion turbo rotory and lightwieght of a 1st gen should make for a very fast car

i could seriously consider turboing my 13b na this winter. You guys say i would need to keep the boost down unless i change my rotors. Well would it still be worth turboing it not being able to run much boost, or would i still get a very good hp jump with the high compression rotors

Exactly, my food, rent, utilities, gas, phone, car money is worked out to the dollar,
I have $2900 dollars, at least $2100 is going to either a rebuild ect or another car (with a small loan) or the rebuild and if possible a turbo.
The rest goes to everything else.
