the reason so many people jump on this is because people post up expecting a list of stuff to go buy and bolt on. well our car isnt a civic or a 240sx, therefor apart from the "pre-made" Hahn and star kits, EVERY one is a one off custom job. everybody has different end goals and budgets. there are Too many options but they are all conected, read on.
the next reason is because there is tuning required to get the 420a up to par when adding a turbo kit, some theory and background on turbochargers, fuel systems, and engine management is required.
a few months back i started to write a book about turbocharging the 420a, i realised quickly that a bullet to my head would be less painful then trying to cover every option in doing a turbo. and i realised that i kept referencing tugbocharger theory books.

avaliable at any book store as well as e-bay.
now after you read that, you will see a list start to form. now this list is VERY general and non specific. Turbo, Wastegate, Manifold, Downpipe, Oiling supply and return, Fuel supply, etc after you have made that generic list you can go through parts you want and fill in the blanks for what ya need / have.
then the previously generic list starts to take form FOR YOUR SPECIFIC APPLICATION (Sweet huh?!) and you can also see what you need to find or make decisions about, and you can also see places where you might want to upgrade somthing.
when your done you should have a complete custom setup with the parts you need and you will know the resons why you selected those parts and how they will all go together.
now you can start posting about specific items, ie "my goal is 8psi and a DD, do you guys recomend the SMU or SFMU for my application?" that will get you better and more specific answers (that will actually help you) from us then by saying "hey what fuel setup do i need to go turbo?"
see now thats how you turbo the 420a
Get the picture? call me an ass i dont care. here we take turbocharging the 420a very serriously. need proof? read through this section and see howmany people are making there own manifolds with actuall theory to back them up. read the MSnS section and see who the Briliant minds are that can build, install, and trouble shoot stand alone engine management systems.
read most any post buy any member that has "Old school 2gnt", or "Donating member", or "I WROTE the MUTHERFUCKING WIKI" by there name and you can bet your ass that they know their shit and i wouldnt piss them off (some bite . . . hard!)
i dont care if your new or not, everyone has to start out somewhere and thats fine, but we aint gonna spoon feed your build to you, you have to do the research and legwork FIRST.
the ones that "slap on" a turbo dont last long here, the ones that "build a turbo system" are the ones out there ripping asphalt instead of "WTF? Now what did i break?"______________________________________
