I've seen a few threads about turbo first gens and I became curious. I spoke to a fellow at the local speedway who races a Sigma. He told me there are many ways to do it.

1) Add a turbo set up to a magna 2.6 EFI
2) replace engine with a 2.0L Turbo from sigma or lancer
Or do what he did
3) buy a fuel injected 2.6L Turbo Starion ESI-R from the US and swap the engine, gearbox and ECU.

Any other thoughts on
1) Which method is preferred
2) the difficulty of a turbo mod
3) any queensland legal issues eg. Mod plates and insurance issues.

if you want it for the road
you have to use a qld transport certified engineer

you would possibly up for several thousand dollars
to make it a turbo

dont buy a s/hand turbo .. fit an oil cooled one

Does the qld transport certified engineer just inspect it or do you have to have someone else install it all for you.
