I was wondering if it was possible to make an 87 non-turbo into a turbo. If it is what kind of kit should i get? Thanks everyone

There really isn't a kit, and it would be far easier just to buy a turbo, but you need the complete turbo drivetrain, tranny, rear end, motor and the wiring harness.

Welcome aboard.

yeah, i heard it too much work to swap everything. your better off just buying a TII. or u can be like the rest of the NA's here and try and build one kick *** NA. that would be nice.

just turbo it and see how long your apex seals last. it would be a good experiment
