Any ideas how much you want to spend? Cost is a good starting point.
Generally speaking extractors will give you the most noticeable gain on an otherwise stock motor. Mychael |

air filter makes it sound cooler even if performance gains are minimal
keep in mind you can be defected for it where'd you pick up the import motor from? |

ill propably put an air filter, and extractors full exhaust. i have been reading the posts and seen a couple of the members have gone turbo. is it safe to run a small setup on 7 psi like some of the examples ive seen?

yep, its possible, but it WILL cost a few grand unless you can do every single bit yourself
i'm trying to keep my converison under $2grand but will see how i go its quite an enjoyable project if you're doing it yourself, if you just want a turbo car go buy one it will be much simpler :D |

think about getting a GA15 throttle body...... and a adjustable fuel regulator..... to go with the extractors, make it all breathe properly
