FC NA to Turbo

Hello guys, this is my first post so please excuse anything I say that may be stupid.

I essentially need to do an entire inventory of every single part, gasket, bolt, nut, et cetera of what I need to go from a 13b n/a powered fc to a single-turbo setup. I also need to be fairly specific because this list is for my grandfather... So what size inter-cooler will fit, and should it be FM or TM? Also, how large of a turbo should one look at for 200-250 horsepower, and if anybody can be specific as to the exact turbo that is preferable, I would absolutely love you for it.

And does the FC require an ecu upgrade of any sort to go through such a change, as I would imagine? If so, where is this done?

Are you planing to rebuilt your na motor? Lots of people well tell you to eather sell your car and buy a t2 or buy the complete t2 set up. You would have to swap lots of things. For example the trans, diff, half shafts, and etc. Na are not ment for turbos. Do some readind on the form there lots of info. I have na also but im swapping everything out for the t2 enigne. Good luck...

First, check the FAQ. It will answer 99% of your questions. This is probably the most asked question on this forum and has been well covered. The stock turbo can do what you want.
