the only way I can see you pulling this off is if you can find a cartech turbo kit for 1st gens. They are rare but they show up on ebay once in a while.

other than that I cant see spending less than a few grand. Im swapping a turbo II engine in my fb and the engine alone is costing 1200 shipped. And thats pretty damn cheap.

even if you can make your own manifold and pipes, your still going to spend at least 1.5k on it.

If you actually get this thing going, I will gift you a TII intercooler. I also have a KKK K26 turbo in great condition for 100.00 plus shipping. Carl Byck

A buddy of mine is doing this right now. he already had the carbs though. Not that they are trubo specific but they do add to the total price.

He used a s4 turbo and mani He welded a flange on the mani and that was that.

He is using the core from a saab900 turbo IC and needed to get a rrfpr and a new fuel pump.

I highly doubt the whole project is gonna go over $800 but then again we have connections for all the parts he needed.


By the way that thing on e-bay is junk. Its a draw-through and is a no-no for many reasons.
