i reckon that u will need abit of work done to the engine for it to handle a turbo. just get a turbo engine and stick it in cos it will be cheaper in the long run

talk to eggy or ben wight....

cheap turbo setup...this was reccomended to me.
piazza or steam pipe turbo manifold and small turbo with wastegate.
from here sort out wether you want draw or blow thru setup...do a search and then decide on your fuel induction setup.
as for the motor, a strong 1600 with 2 head gaskets and a 1.5mm decomp plate will handle up to 8 psi with no problems. all you need is an electronic dizzy or a recurved mecanical one. then dou yer tuning on a dyno.
hope this helps a little.
