what about underbody turbo kits, say back near the diff then piping to the intake. being a short car id imagine lag wouldnt be too bad. ive seen these kits on other cars and it works really well. especially under bonnet temps.

I used a couple of 32/36's. You can use one. Change floats from brass to plastic. Spray your main lid gasket with copper gasket spray (let is completely dry before installing). Electric fuel pump with at least 15 lbs pressure. Install a pressure regulator and a blowoff valve. Adjust your jets. Build a box for your Weber carb.
It does take some engineering.

Its all about creativity. You can make anything you want. Sometimes the tuning part takes a little more time. :)
I have supercharged an A15. You can check my photos. Any questions, just ask.

Ok for last last hour at work iv been playing around with exhaust bends to make this "j" pipe turbo set up I'm stuck now. Bottom rad hose and the stupid long radiator pipe they get in my way lol n then where is the su going to sit by the looks of it I'll have an air filter sittin next to the head light starting to thing I'm playing with this turbo set up as it is what I have laying around or get for free. If I find a super charger I don't won't it out the bonnet where do u mount it. In photos the engine bays look huge but when I go to sit a turbo set up there is no room how much power can u get out of n/a I don't wanna spend big bucks or if I do it's over a long time

sure you could turbo an A12 for $500, but can you find a kit for that price?

that setup will cost you less then a basic turbo kit? It would cost under $1000 to turbo an a-series
