Re: Evo III turbo?

No it doesnt come with the manifold. "Also Evo 3 GT comes with turbo-manifold and turbo-down pipe gaskets". They are gaskets for it. There are a lot of things to think about when turboing a N/A car. First thing to think about is what are your goals? What kind of power do you want to see or what 1/4 mile times do you want to achieve. (If you race) Second is will the engine support it, in some cases yes but not all the time. Third thing to think about is all the custom work to get everything to fit and work together. There are a lot of turbo kits out there that will just bolt on, if you're really looking to turbo your car, I would look into a kit personally. I built my car from a pile of parts. It wasnt easy nore was it for the average person. Fourth is fuel. What kind of fuel management do you plan on using and how do you plan to tune it.

Turboing a non turbo car isnt the easiest thing in the world but with the bolt on kits people make now days even a monkey could probably do it. Personally I wouldnt buy that turbo just yet. First you need to sit down and plan everything out. Dont think you can just buy a turbo, throw it on and be done.
