RE: turbo
If you are asking such a broad question like that, and looking for intructions, I can guarantee some major headaches. It's not like an intake where you bolt it on hook up a tube and go. There is fuel, timing, boost control, lubrication,tuning, ect, ect, that go along with it. Boosting a normally N/A car is quite a project. If you don't know what you're doing you can easily and very quickly ruin an engine with boost. You might want to consider bringing it to a shop to take care of it.

He should have just sold the car and bought a turbo Dodge. [sm=happy046.gif]
