just a quick one if you use a suck through you need a turbo that has the vacume seal in the compressor ive been told

what turbo would be best suited 4 it n whats a boost retard and what does it do ... sorry 4 been a newbi Fat_120y

get a su like sidegraught said normal fuel pump should be efficient u can use a J pipe for the turbo or buy a turbo manifold and su on the intake and outlet to intake manifold

i was thinking of goin just suck through cause it seems basic jus need 2 no what has 2 be used and wot need 2 be done thanks

You need to buy a manifold from Jake,(Frank the Dolphin trainer), $250, then a big old SU from the wreckers and a not too big turbo while you are there. (I have one you can have for $200).

You will need a dump pipe made up, as well as a decompression plate, that might run to a couple of hundered.

If you use the search bar to the left of the page you will see how others have put them together on a budget.

Here are some good links.

which way do u want to go? blow through, suck through, or injected?
what turbo are u going to run?

The a12t sutup on my 120y is a blowthough setup i run a (EDIT) webber) 32/36 downdraught td04l turbo with front mount
and electric fuel pump
easiest way is to set your turbo up and make an adapter plate etc so u run a suckthrough carb in front of turbo a su or sidedraught weber has worked well with a few people on here i believe,
money wise blowthrough: around $1500 $2000, for my setup but had a lot of help with parts so it was a bit cheaper than that.
suck through basically make it all ureself and buy a carby: prob $600
BUT thats a ball park figure a few guys on here would have different types of setups and different costs.

Hey i want to turbo my a12 and just wondering whats involved and how much it would cost 4 jus a half basic setup thanks
