I own a 1981 rodeo with a g160 engine in it I was wondering how much a turbo conversion would cost me and what sort of power increase should I expect i was also wondering what added modifications will have to be carried out prior to or after the turbo and are there any people that offer a package easyly accesable (like mail order) as i live in toowoomba (small village bout 150 kms from brisbane)

talk to Ben Wight, he seems to know lots about turbocharging and g160's, he used to offer a package as well.

Step 1 punjaba, is to buy some books and do some research.
