Hi spazmor,
Prior to turboing your car, you should check to ascertain as to whether the engine will stand the stress of adding a turbo. Is the bottom end great? Is the top end near perfect? Has the maintenance been up to scratch? If you've got 100+k's on the engine, it may turn out more expensive than you are planning. You'll need a new/upgraded clutch assembly. Your brakes will probably need attention as well. How's the suspension?
Speak with Silverwater Automotive Services regarding your turbo setup. They, by reports, seem to have a fairly good idea of what to do.
The process involves new intake, exhaust manifold, cat converter and exhaust system.
It will more than likely involve an intercooler (not too large). Any BOV should be plumbed back into the system to satisfy compliance.
The mods will also include a new piggyback module for your ecu or a new purpose made ecu.
As you are a newbie, I cannot commend the setting up and ongoing tuning as a job to be done by yourself.
Let someone who does it everyday do it for you.
Depending on engine condition, allow yourself from $6,000 up for a decent job.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Andrew :thumbsup:
