find a different engine. seriously. youre in for one hell of a job if you want to turbo a carbed engine. youll need a mpfi intake manifold, the exhaust manifold and the turbo, the injectors, fuel pump, and an ecu. plus now youre cramming an intercooler somewhere in between the turbo and the throttle body.

Get a turbo car.

Seriously. You are looking at hours and hours of work (Swapping exhaust, complete wiring harness, ECU, crossmember and a bunch of other crap). A metric **** ton of money if you don't do it all yourself, and the end result will be disappointing at best.

Get a JDM WRX front cut and do it right if you are going to do it at all.

My honda is stock with 270HP

Besides - you and I had to do something with the intake. stock doesn;t fit anymore when you go with a TD04.

I'm curious to see if I will be able to go back to the stock intake with the 16G
