Re: how would i turbo charge

You need:
A Turbocharger
A new exhaust manifold with a flange to attach the supercharger
A new intake pipe and filter to go to the turbocharger
A new pipe to the throttle body
A way to get more fuel to the injectors (there's a whole bunch of ways to do this - if you don't understand how to do this, you shouldn't be tackling this project)
Colder spark plugs
Oil lines to the turbocharger
a way to get oil to the turbocharger (usually a bung welded into the oil pan)

You'll probably want:
An intercooler
a blow off valve

Basically, if you have to ask, you probably shouldn't be even thinking about this project.

Re: how would i turbo charge

A kit would be the cheapest and eastiest route, but I dont know of any, try flea-bay.
