Turbokit for 3SGE engine?? Options

[Robban]

Is there a turbokit for the 3SGE engine?? i´ve searched alot but havent found anything or is there any other way to get more hp under the hood? now i only have an open air filter and 2,5" exhaust. but i want more.. any tip anyone??
i could probably have someone making turbokit for my car but i think it would be to expensive.

Actually, turbo's love high compression pistons - you just need a TON of gas to keep it safe. I remember reading an artice in Max Power (UK edition, not the pathetic US version) about Norris Designs 700+ Evo running 11:1 pistons with a huge HKS turbo. They were running out of fuel with 1000cc injectors at 2.5bar, so they added a second set of injectors!

For the rest of us, low compression pistons are a great safety net. I'm going cheap on my motor, since its for my wife's car and she doesn't need 350+ hp. I'm using a set of used stock all-trac pistons with new rings and all new bearings. All total it was like $300 for parts and labor. I'm also using a TTE head gasket which is good for 20+ psi of boost.

I personally dont like using a thicker head gasket as a way to lower compression. It usually only gives you around 1 less cr (which would put you at 9.5:1) and puts more stress on the gasket, which is a known weak point on the 3SGTE. Then again, if your not pushing 20+ psi, and you use a HKS 1.6mm, you wont have a problem.
