I was just wondering if there is any site that shows how to install a turbo in a 420a engine. I just got a greddy TD05H Turbo for my RS and I am about to install it. I know the basics about it but I need some one that knows more than I do to help me out. Thanks

Whats the difference between a stock GST and a GS or RS with a greddy turbo? (hp?)

thats pretty vague, unless there is only one turbo made by greddy.. i wouldnt know, i dont follow that brand for turbos. also notice cost efficiency of gst vs gs + turbo.

it varies on what turbo set up you are refering to... if your looking at the same turbo on both and both having everthing else stock, it would be close in HP but i do believe that the RS or GS would have a little more...when i turboed my RS i originally had a 14b on it and everything else was stock, running 10 psi i dynoed it at 225 whp, which is just a little more HP that a GST or GSX, although i wouldnt suggest running it on a stock motor 4 ever. like everyone else will say, they are not designed to be turboed but with the right upgrades they can be really nice cars with a turbo, like mine.
now on the cost comment, yes it is more expensive to put a turbo on an RS or GS and have it as quick as a GST or GSX, with the money it costs you to buy the turbo kit, have it installed and tuned, you would be better off buying a GST or a GSX and you would still have extra money for upgrades to put on it...and make it quicker than the RS or GS would be with that same amount of money... i have close to $4500 in upgrades into mine right now, so it all depends on how much you want to spend. good luck!!! let me know if you need anymore help!

Thanks. Do you think it would be safe to run that turbo on my stock inturnals? What Psi should I run on my stock engine?
