would just geting an oversized trottle body be a worthy invertment and increase performance or does it need extra parts to go with it to make worth the money?

what would other people do for about 1k?

by itself it'll do nothing. Unless your planning computer and fuel system upgrades theres no point. :)

G-money, i dont think it would be worthy. Its more percieved performance than actual gained performance.

turbo-ing is a cheaper way if you want a boost ..I see some members have turbos for sale for magnas going cheap why not think along those lines
look in mods or ask turbo owners????

Sorry to hi-jack a thread... but who's running a turbo on a first gen here? speak up! i want info!

yes cad it will be you
you need to make up a special bracket to hold the turbo then get the type that screws on
and broooooooooooooom
i ll let you work out which turbo to buy its just about dollars
just go to your nearest turbo shop for information

come on.. there has to be more to it then that right? otherwise everyone would have one :P

HI There,

Mitsubishi actually had a turbo version of this engine a long time ago.. It used a Garrett turbo with small external wastegate with a draw through system...

Now it will need to be a custom install we can supply you with the turbo unit but the rest will need to be made on the car to suit...

Regards,

Scott.
