Why not do like Simtech Racing here in Norway, and build the ultimate 12A? Its going to cost though....
Take a look on the links below.

The amazing thing is that the 12A actually lasts!
If you are looking for durable power, do it right, and go for Haltech, Autronic, etc and low comp rotors, together with an extend port and a laaaarge intercooler!

A better but more expensive way is to use a factory 12A turbo efi motor which was used on some Japanese models including RX-7s. It's a far better engine with low compression rotors. The hot RX-2s and RX-3s went that way as the 13BT was too heavy. Keeping most components stock you can get 250hp intercooled, with 500+ if you port and upgrade the turbo. For example, with an upraded exhaust system and intercooler my 12A Turbo puts out nearly 225rwhp at 10psi in daily driver mode.

"Turbo, exhaust manifold, carb hat, intake manifold, external wastegate, intercooler and piping- 137.00"
seanrot, i dont know where you are getting your prices from, but that list of parts right there equals well over 500 dollars, **** i payed 230 for my wastegate alone when i have my red car turboed

your going to be hating life with that carb and a turbo. you need a special float that is damn hard to find. If you sweet talk rotaryshack he might try to make one for you. but he still in the experiment stage on those. he's close but doesnt have it exact yet.
With the Ida you shouldnt have a big clearance issue with a turbo so just get the s4 turbo and manifold oblong the holes and make it work. I might have a connection on a carb hat and float but its going to be really expensive $$$.
