better off buying a TII engine. Putting a turbo on an N/A is never as reliable. and costs as much.

One of the better threads is here: http://forum.teamfc3s.org/showthread.php?t=106

You need a turbo upper and lower intake manifold plus a front cover off a turbo engine of the same series plus you NEED to feed the turbo water and oil and then RETURN the oil to the pan. It's not that hard but not that easy if you knowledge base is a touch low on RX.
