Hey once again. Just had some questions about putting a turbo on a 2000 cc engine. 1) Is there a kit that will fit on my engine? 2) How much modifying will I have to do? 3) Will I lose mpg? 4) How will this effect my engine since it's fuel injected? 5) What do I need to do to keep it cool with a turbo? Sorry for the barage of questions, I just wanted to get some opinions about some of my options. Thanks guys (and gals).

Chase

1) See the Type4rum in www.shoptalkforums.com
2) Major
3) Probably lower due to the heat losses
4) It will be cheaper and easier to do this to a carb setup
5) Cooling is the hard part because hot pipes from the exaust and going to have to come into the engine compartment to feed the intake.

The guys in the Type4rum are on the cutting edge. Cross post there.
