Ya I'd like to know too. I wanna put a Cheap Turbo Conversion on my 1980 12A. Im not looking for power numbers, more of a little increase of power and the unique-ness of having your car turbocharged. Any suggestions?

Ya, 1983, I seen one, it had the mirrors up on the front fenders and it was right hand drive. It was at an import show and shine, too bad my car doesnt shine.

Robert sells turbo plenums and intakes for cheap, check it out. I hope you're a fan of blowthru systems. He also sells stock japanese 12a turbo engines.

Also, I'm not too familiar with them (as I have never done business with them) but I know Corksport sells imported turbo 12a's. I am sure they could get manifolds easy. I think they sell the motor for like 900$, but I am sure they would need a rebuild. Something to check out anyway.
