Let me preface this with that I am a bit odd. I've had a couple turbo'ed cars and have an affinity to the sound of the turbo wheel spinning up and the power kicking in. My last driver was a 92 Mitsubishi Galant VR4 with a very healthy 2.0L turbo'ed motor with AWD, and it was on par with the Evo's and STI's out there. Prior to that, an 89 Chrysler Conquest was my driver. Again, a turbo'ed car, 2.6L with rear drive and a limited slip. This established my sickness.
I've been poking around at the parts available to convert Ms. Scarlet to a turbo, and it seems like an intake/carb and exhaust/turbo setup from the Metro turbo is essentially a bolt on. Add in the boost compensating fuel pressure regulator, and it would appear that's all there is to the equation.
Has anyone had experience with this conversion, and am I leaving anything out? yes, I know I'll have to keep the boost down on a stock compression motor.
