to do it right? - too much
just to get it done? - not worth it by the time you get a good reliable 7afte it wouldve been way more feasible to swap something else in IMO -------------------- -Brian

it is expensive to boost the 7A-FE. however its worth every penny cause they respond to it very well. Just make sure you have a good tune

Ive spent about $1500 on everything but a BOV and turbo-back exhaust. All in all, i expect it will cost me about $2000 to get everything together before i finally bolt it all up. If you look around and take your time, you can find pretty decent deals. I got my T25 turbo for $50 from a junk yard. Its in great shape and came off of a nearly new Saab. You just have to look around and be ready to spend a little money when you find something.

I have the turbo manifold, oil pan with oil return line, 420cc injectors, piping molded to fit st and down pipe for a gt28 turbo. I can get pictures if you are interested. Youll be missing a turbo, blow of valve and bigger fuel pump i guess --------------------  |

do you not need lower compression pistons when boosting low with either turbo or SC? [/quote] Only if you want to run large amounts of boost. The stock internals can generally handle ~12 psi fairly well, depending on their condition. |

Is it absolutely necessary to retard ignition timing when turbo charging the 7afe with about 6 psi?
