| Decomp. or custom forged pistons, new rings, o-ring the block, copper head gasket, port and polish, all that shit if you want high boost. I hope your not gonna expect to be able to put a turbo onto the existing manifolds :S Go and try and source a piazza turbo exhaust manifold. Plus you gotta work out about a cooler, whether your gonna water cool it or get a FMIC, if you are then you can't use a suck threw carby set up. If your using a carby set up your gonna need an airbox for the blow through carby set up which i think people use the 34ADM carby for. |
