Turbocharger post from 2003

I've been looking for info on getting a turbocharger for my 99 sl (which is of course DOHC). I ran accross this old peice of information from October 2003 while searching AF....

Couple problems, if you buy the engine you dont get the intercoolers or piping. Ive heard the jap emisions and stuff is what makes them send them over here, not the milage. But most engine are under 50k.

That being said, neither of those things matter. He has a 99 base which is a SOHC engine. The motor mounts are different along with other parts of the chassis. You will have to get a custom turbo kit if you want one.

If you had a DOHC you could take all the parts from the turbo car and botl them up to your car, which is what me and a friend are doing to his. Im taking all the turbo stuff off mine and we are putting it on his.

Is this all 100% true, and everything fits just right? Or will I have to mod some parts or what? Cause I am having hell finding a turbo kit for my car. Please reaffirm this information, and if you know where I can get these parts off a vr4 please let me know that as well. Thanks!

Yes all the stuff will bolt up, however I was wrong about 1 thing there. SOHC motor mounts are the same as the DOHC.

I have all the IC piping and the o2 housings for sale right now. But a better option might be to check out 3si. There are currently a few people on 3si that are selling everything needed to turbo a DOHC motor as a "kit". Check the parts for sale section, spacificly people parting out their cars.

Thanks for the confirmation, and I know it's a bit of a hassel, but would you mind posting a link to that stuff in this thread? Cause I never can seem to find stuff using 3si for whatever the reason. Thanks for your troubles....

please?!?
