Default AUIII turbo

hey guys, i just recently purchased an AUIII XR6 ST and i dont have much clue about what is required with converting it to a turbo, just for a bit of added power. what else do i need to purchase to make it efficient and maintain well? is there any one out there that might be able to assist me.

If you want a professional job.. start with $10K and then add a bit more.

Jim Mock Motorsport are now doing turbo packages, drive in, drive out. Engineering certificate will be on top of that though.

Depends. If you want to stay NA then certainly go the exhaust etc. If you have your heart set on a turbo then there is no point messing with the exhaust as it will need to be changed anyhow.

Either way, if your after some more go, give Jim Mock a call. They did wonders for my VCT, I wouldnt let anyone else touch it now.

I agree call the mocks. They have everything sorted and will do a drive in drive out deal. There isnt much point in cutting costs if you want to do things right.
