IL What do I need to convert my Vert to Turbo?

Hey guys just was thinking about making my vert a turbo and was wondering what it will take to do it. I was also considering a supercharger instead of turbo. Does anyone know anything about either of these? Right now I have a 88 NA Vert stock. Would like to hear your opinions/advice and suggestions. Perhaps a parts list of what I will need. Thanks

There's this amazing button labeled, "search," right at the top of this screen. With that button you can find a cornucopia of extensive build threads and how to threads on doing a turbo swap. Have fun!

Cuz I'm nice


Superchargers are pointless if you want a good power gain. Supercharging is halfway between an all motor setup and a turbo setup power wise, and is expensive to do.

As for turbo swapping there is tooooons of info on that. Basically to do it right you need an engine/harness/ecu/trans/driveshaft/rear end/axles/fuel pump.

The exact same things you'd need to convert a coupe to a turbo.
It's a pretty common swap.
