i want to turbo my 7A-FE can anyone tell me how and what parts are needed. i went to jgstools.com and they had alot of parts listed
but i want the cheapest, best value i can find, so what type of parts would be in this "turbo".
i also found sum cheap intercoolers, turbos, and a Bosch bypass valve on ebay(is that a good idea?). oh and do i need a new "turbo back" exhaust system. i relize i will need a new fuel pump too. also for the intercooler piping $299 seems alot for me can't i just got to the hardware store and buy quater inch steel tubing and bend it myself with a pipe bender?

I don't consider that "pussy-footing" around, but I guess you have higher standards than me. I'm not trying to build a drag car, I just want some extra hp/tq to make the back roads a bit more fun. Trust me, the last thing I want is a butt-load of HP, one of my good friends just broke both his legs after crashing his WRX into a cement wall.

Hey g dog i agree with 180-200 hp out of a 7A is not pussy-footing it, I think that if you can get that from a turbo done the right way is great. and is your friend OK. I know having one broken leg is realy F'd up. I don't think i can handle two send him my best.
