This is not actually a link for parts just a thought for those wishing to turbo for cheap.

Since any turbo install will have to be a complete custom job here a thought that might make it a little more affordable. By a used turbo and use it for mock up and setup and when you can send it off and get it rebuilt. You can even find already rebuilt turbos online at several places.

I visited my local "you pull it" wrecking yard and there are several mid80's to late 90's dodge/chrysler turbos in there and the want about $100 USD. The early 90's ones were the best and you may even find one with an intercooler in the car that might be usable. There would be piping that you could buy with the intercooler and cut in the straights and use hose to swivel the angles into a different direction that would be usable. There are several turbo upgrades for the chrylser systems. If you setup your car for one and wanted to buy another turbo just unbolt one and bolt in the other one that would be possible. Of course other modifications to the engine might be necessary. Fuel system/pistons&compression ratio/ignition system etc.

The other turbos that would be of interest and were made for a smaller engine and would probably spool up faster than the chrysler turbo for more low end power. The subaru turbos for the gl-10 I don't think any of these came with an intercooler but I could be wrong. I looked at one of these that was already pulled. I thought the size and look of the subaru turbo might work well. I don't know what the max psi. the subaru turbo would make one page I read a post by a guy and he said that hp. dropped off after 5psi. I think that might be due to the lack of an intercooler and feeding a 1.8 with all it can take.

I wish I had the money and didn't need the warranty on my car I would love to start some modifications like this.
