The question should be what you dont need. When doing turbo anything can go wrong and even the most stupid parts you well end up needing.
http://www.focuscanada.net/forum/index.p...topic=8840 this is good post for places you can get parts from and such you well need (just off the top of my head) turbo of course bov wastegate intercooler (if going over 10psi) exhaust manifold + downpipe cone filter oil lines piping wideband + egt isnt a bad idea to have either. and tuning (MOST IMPORTANT)

If you need to ask this question, your best bet is buy a kit....the roush turbo is pretty affordable, theres also turbo toms kits..

So buying a Kit already made for my car would the easiest way to go?

focusonthis_88,May 10 2005, 09:40 AM Wrote:What is better a Turbo or a Supercharger? Supercharger will be easier on the engine. Probably better for a daily driver but you wont get the same HP/TRQ as a Turbo would. Plus if you want more power you can always turn up the boost on a turbo by a couple of PSI. With a supercharger you would have to change pullies and all that fun stuff.... Listen To hardkore, go with the roush turbo kit. Good price, and you get pretty much everything in a box. You dont want to shopping around for individual parts....
yep even i would get a kit now even though i am about done with mine.. and with all the options nowadays, the cost is worth it and usually nicer looking ehhe
im not sure about the s/c being easier on the engine.. they can boost almost the same now.. that is on a stock bottom end.. you dont really want to go over 10psi.. im sure you can but.. anyway..
ZX3T gone..

Im going to go as far as saying a JRSC would be easier to install than a Turbo kit.
yeah, in the case of the JRSC, it runs about 5 psi so it is less stress on the engine.. as for the install, i couldn't say but probably
if you go with powerworks or FS .. they make as much as the "normal" turbo kits do..

No, maybe on a group buy, but the vendor is looking being out to close to $1000 for 5K taxes in. Not to many will do that, but what do I know, maybe Steeda or Mitch will feel generous. lol....riiiiiiiiiiight. doing your own thing, your looking close to the same price....
