shes your friend.

Anyway, it depends on your power goals. Your definately going to need:turboturbo manifoldsome sort of fuel system (RRFPR is cheapest and easiest)pipingintercooler is strongly reccommendedmaybe a new clutchdownpipe/exhaustwastegate (if turbo isnt internally wastegated)blow off valve

A list I put together years ago...

turboturbo exhaust manifoldwastegate (if turbo doesnt have internal wastegate swing valve housing)

downpipe (connects turbo outlet to cat/test pipe)-turbo outlet flange-piping-fittings (O2, wideband O2, EGT)-wastegate return pipe (from wastegate outlet to downpipe)--external wastegate onlytest pipe (takes place of cat, connects downpipe to catback exhaust)catback exhaust (mandrel bent)-piping-muffler

larger injectorshigh flow fuel pumpfuel management (piggyback, retuned ECU [JWT, Enthalpy, Bikirom])ignition management (timing retard control)--over 8 psi

intercooler (front mount)-IC piping (mandrel bent)-silicon hose couplers and transitions

BOV (with flange of same material as IC piping)

oil supply kit-oil pan bung-braided oil lines-oil line fittings-'T' fittings

water/coolant supply kit--watercooled turbo only

gauges-boost-oil pressure-oil temp-water temp-EGT

intake piping (mandrel bent)cone filter

gaskets-exhaust manifold-turbo flange-wastegate

vacuum hoses (silicone or rubber)-'T' fittings

clutch?flywheel?

damn thats a lot of stuff is it worth it at the end or would it be easier to put in a sr20? what about new valves or new pistons is that needed?

[timmy76106]

hey would i have to rebuild my motor if im going to put a turbo in it?ive been reading a lot of threads saying if it has too many miles on the motor you have to rebuild it.. whats too many miles?

[hannibal]

If you think thats too much stuff, you should rethink your plans.

Most of it is necessary, but things like clutch/flywheel, test pipe or hi flow cat, and most of those gauges are recommended, not required. You do need a boost gauge and you prolly need a cat back exhaust.

I'm gonna recommend simply reading the FAQ in the sticky. Start there, forumlate some real questions and use capital letters when you post. Thanks...
