I build the low end to handle the boost, get a new cam and push rods lifters and rocker arms and you get the idea. The reason I say this is I dont know how much boost it can handle on the stock internals, oh ya valve springs also.

I dont know a whole lot about turbo systems themselves. I know you need a turbo header and a turbo hat for the carb and of course all the turbo parts I'm sure you can find a kit.

OK, first of all change the internals... All depend what you want, You have 2 options Low Budget Performance or heavy. You can put Mazda B-2000 pistons with the engine bore at .040mm and original full floating rods. You can produce around 300-350 HP or go with Wisseco or Arias pistons and Eagle Rod. If you buy aftermarket pistons have in mind you can put piston with a little bit of compression, don't use full low compression pistons. A good oil pomp. Then the cam, use a cam with a duration from 280-300 and a lift that not pass the .500 use combination like 290 x 475 mine is 280 x 445. The degree for the cam is essential use a sprocket. Port the engine head. That,s the essential. Then the turbo, waste gate, blow off, Intercooler, If you have the chance to make it fuel injection do it. Fuel pump, good ignition. Step by step you will get knowledge, start watching other projects and asking. Any question send me a PM.
