it really depends mate, you can do anything with a tig welder and an exhaust bender. but you also have to condiser engine mods, compression ratios ect. i my self have looked into it and currently reckon superchargings the go, because intercooler is not really necessary being that the air is always cold, which keeps that hole sleeper look around the authoritys... but nothing beats a blue bottle in the boot let me tell you. hehehe

Any turbo is the same to fit to your car the only thing that makes it hard is if you put a big turbo on it will sit close to everything and will burn the paint off you car it just a matter of getting a maifold made to suit which most exhaust shop can do. It is in you best interest to up grade you brakes as the stock brakes were only designed to stop a car that in it stock form makes an average of 60kw and if you add a turbo it is going to make at least double that. The stock brakes were no good when i changed to the 4zc1 untune it was only making 103kw with 8.5psi. The best upgrade that i have found for dollars that doesn't change stud pattern or anything is of the 4 cyclinder bmw. If you want to stay out of trouble with authoritise you should up grade you brakes. It is easy to get an engineers certificate if they are done too. If you want to now the exact details on how this is done e-mail me on bibblie@hotamil.com
