Those solutions require the entire engine swap. To simply put a turbo on the engine would involve a lot of fab. work and would cost a lot more. The higher compresion in the NA engine doesn't bode well with a turbo anyway.

The actual turbo info is buried further down in the FAQ.

SkaterAJR this topic has been flogged to death on this forum if your wondering why no one is giving you much useful information.
Aaron cake was the first person on here to turbo his N/A engine.
Bambam7 is another(i think?..), there have been a few others aswell including myself.
All that have done it have been quite happy with the end result IIRC.

I am in the process of doing it now. There are a few who have done it and another few how are working on it. I have been trying to stay in touch with them so we csn exchsnge ideas and avoid pitfalls,
Yes it is more expensive this way. So far I have invested $1100 (turbo, manifold, wastegate, bov, 4 injectors, ecu, Map sensor, intercooler, TB adapter). All I am missing is the pipeing.
Since it is high compression engine you need to be carefull with your boost. I personally will run 10PSI.
If you decide to go this way stay in touch.

I've done it also but no real dyno numbers yet ^_^ but to SkaterAJR I think you should consider where you want to go with it before you decide whether to turbo your N/A or simply do a turbo engine swap...
