do or has anyone manufactured turbo kits for the a series engines? i am planning on makeing a simple turbo kit for my a14. i was curious to what specific turbos would work best, aftermarket or oem? if i am succesful in makeing a simple 8-12 psi setup i will be manufacturing them on a small scale. i have never turbo charged anything, how ever i have done turbo kit upgrades on a few cars including a 7mgte toyota supra. if i was to manufacture a simple say 10 psi complete kit how many people would want one?
it would include both manifolds, intercooler, intercooler lines, oil lines, extrenal oil cooler kit, and turbo charger. i have a design that utilizes a side draft webber carb, but i havent transfered it over to auto cad 3d yet.

I think the average punter wanting a bit of extra poke would be happy to hand over approx $1000 to get a good pre-made kit that worked.

Yeah count me in... You would just have to make sure that the intercooler setup would fit in a 1000
