trying to turbo that thing should be the last thing you do, it will take a long time and cost much $ Instead get a racingbeat header and cat replacement pipe and get a better clutch, lighter flywheel, porting intake manifold, throttle body mod, vac spider removal, along with the removal of acv, airpump and some other crap there is no need for, You will also wanna do something like wire your 5th and 6th ports open or something? I dunno? but thats all i can think of, o yea, you can also get a fuell controller and i think that the stock fuel system is strong enough on that car for those mods, or you might wanna switch to a tII fuel pump which you can pick up pretty cheap.
