After-market turbo?

Does anyone know a good place to get an after-market turbo for a 94 rolla?? Or maybe a place that can custom build one?

If you need a turbo all you need to do is find one off a 4-banger at an autowreckers. If I needed a wastegate I would also check the wreckers, ebay, or the papers.

Don't forget that you are also going to need larger fuel injectors and a reprogrammed or a programmable ECU if you don't want things to self destruct. Trust me I learned that - the hard way -.

Turbo's are reallly nothing special but they do have moving parts and things can wear. Selecting one the wrong size can also make driveability less than dismal, so do some research on google etc before going out and wasting any money.

A good place to start to learn some reasonable expectations is www.sdsefi.com go down to the tech page/faq links and read as much as you can absorb.

I would look for an OEM turbo, specially for a stock engine. maybe a ct26 from a 3SGTE, or a turbo from a 7MGTE would be alright, or even a Mazda turbo from the older mx6's, and then get it custom done.
