I was just looking thru the parts trader and saw a 12a turbo manifold, turbo and a wastegate for sale there.This is a good oppuritunity to boost the power on your guys' 12a's.

nice! Man would I love to buy that, I might have the money soon, what exactly would I need to do or buy after I bought those three parts?

It doesn't say anything about a carb hat in the ad so I would imagine you would need a carb hat and fi you want to run high boost some JDM 12at rotors.Other than that I'd say after you ran the oil lines,IC piping and a BOV you should be set.

Hey you'd better call the cops. Someone stole your eccentric shaft.

lol, yeah. Some stuff seems to be missing from that engine. Those parts kind seem to be important too https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png.

That 12a looks fucked up.I thought the turbo feeds the carb not the intake?Why is there a second pipe going to the intake??Never seen a turbo setup like that before? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

Thats a drawthrough setup. I don't know where the **** that compressor inlet pipe is going.

Looks like one of those old BAE turbo kits. The block under the carb is divided, the mixture draws thru the carb into the terbs intake and out of the compressor back into the other side of the block & down into the motor. It is a very basic idea that at first look shouldn't work, but it does, very well!
