There is, but it's very costly with the stock KA engine that comes in our cars. I would say forget about going NA.
And like Chukidori said, go with a T25 setup if you don't want too much power. But I'm telling you right now, you've got some work cut out for you. And alot of the T25 'products' that are offered for the KA engine, aren't that dependable if you cheap out on them. You can always roll the dice, and go with some SS AutoChrome stuff, but be prepared to do some of your own fabrication work to sturdy it up. And that's only the beginning of it...
If you want to actually TURBO your car, rebuild it with quality parts, and buy quality turbocharging hardware from one of our sponsors. You will have alot of support for the parts from them, and you will have a wealth of information available if you SEARCH, and ask some of the 'Gurus' here on the KAT forum.
Dont let these guys get to you. When in doubt, search. There are 'Recent', and 'Archived' options when you do decide to search. Make sure you are utilizing those.
Not alot has been going on in here lately, so I don't mind lending a hand.
And I do believe that $.02 was the last of the change in my pocket today.
