lol, turbo's just don't bolt on. Theres a lot of work that goes into it.

You need to find a stock turbo off a very small car to start with. You have to find a company to make you a low-compression piston, and you need to make all your own pipework and such.

It's a very complicated and technical mod. I wouldn't even bother.

Here is a link to a turbo for a 400 ex. It costs a little over $4000.00

Rather than a low compression piston, couldn't you just use a thicker base and head gasket? I don't know how low you have to go (...didn't even know you had to be low compression) so I do not know if the gaskets are even an option.

Here is a pic of one

Here is a link to a thread on here. Its where the pic came from

I wonder why they estimate the HP to be 52 when they have a dyno sheet showing like 44 before it starts to take a dump.

its probably 52 off of the crank and the 44 was off the tires.

its probably due to the corrections, certain altitudes effect it. it is probably 52hp at sea level and 44ish where they are. i think its like sae correction.
