With the right turbo manifold, and custom pipings, anything is possible!!! Oh, and don't for get the tune.

turbo's are universal not car specific.
worth it? of course!
power? depends on the setup and tune
you know nothing about them? start researching

a single random question about a turbo is not research...it's curiosity.

One could potentially classify opinions of the public/users of a product as "research".

here we go! another thread getting off topic. I wasn't being a dick towards the OP. I was simply encouraging him to do more research. I answered his question didn't I? every part of it right?

the tune probably would be the cheapest part of turboing your car. depending on where you go you can pay $75-$150 per hour and it usually takes an hour to get a good tune. This depends on how good the tuner is though...it may take more time. you're thinking way ahead though...you gotta start at the beginning.

what makes up a turbo system?
how does it work?
turbo sizing?
fuel management?

these are the questions you need to find answers to.

EDIT: it will cost anywhere between $2000 - $5000 to put together an entire turbo system. quality of parts and whether you buy used or new will determine how much you spend.

Decide on what numbers you want to make for power. I think that would be the next step and you go from there...Say if you want like 300hp, get bigger injectors, build your valvetrain, PP you head, and block stuff.....Then Bam! dyno, tune, and you got your self 300hp car...LOL, but its not as eazy as I make it sound. its all about the $$$$ and me don't got none....

research of one self is the best way, he's need to pick up a book and read, or find a reputable website that goes deep into everything about a turbo set.
