The basics of turboing an engine for low boost:
Fit turbo manifold and turbo and downpipe
Fit intercooler and ascociated pipework
Plumb in oil and water to the turbo (water not always essential)
Alter engine management to work with the new setup (how much change is needed depends on the specific engine in question)

For high boost:
As above, plus low compression internals and more likely to require drastic changes to the engine management.


FAR easier to sell your car and buy one already turbo'd unless you dont mind a project that takes you months to learn what you are doing and you accept the fact you may well blow an engine or two up trying.
