    There are so many people on here that have done the conversion. Search and you will find all the info you need. People get sick of answering the same questions.

    Im not quite as knowledgable as some of the people on here, thought it would be better to ask the questions i need answers for instead of tryin to figure out the answers from random information.

    you wiill need a bigger fuel pump too and get a better fuel pressure regulator, there is allot to it, honestly though, use google, there is soooo much information out there and allot of it isn't random stuff it's all laid out in order of how you should be going about the conversion.

    Basically you should really look at your engine bay, determine where the manifolds would run, and of course where you can fit a turbo.

    Decide on a turbo, afterall it's the heart and soul of the project, then source your manifolds to suit these needs. No good buying manifolds if you know nothing about them nor have done any other research.

    Don't forget a 2 bar map sensor.

    Lots of heat wrap or shielding to save your engine bay

    If your using a single turbo you'll probs need an external wastegate, plus some other means of boost control is also good (electronic or manual)

    oh yeah and a dump pipe too, yet more exhaust work. There is allot of fabrication to be done, will you be wanting to intercool it? it's an auto yeah? and non lsd?
