Nobody makes one because there are no turbos meant for this car.

It has a 12:1 compression ratio and a completely locked ECU- you won't be able to run much boost safely. You'll end up dropping a lot of money for relatively little gain.

right but with a small turbo and a boost controller, ect....this can work

I am just trying to see what is out there for my fellow members. I cant believe that with our vendors that no one will spend the $$ to get one made? IF these bib companies dont want to invest then the "little" guy should take advantage of that and capture a market that several want! If I had the equipment and the background I would be on top of it but thats me!

I was going to have a local shop work on it for me but since I am going to part ways its not worth the $$ or time to make it happen

Why in the world would you need a boost controller on a turbo system that is gonna max out at 5 or 6 lbs of boost?

And it makes little sense for anyone to design a turbo system for the vehicle... it'd cost -more- than a supercharger system since it requires more plumbing... and virtually nobody bought the LMS supercharger that was available.

A supercharger just needs the head unit, a belt/pulley, the pipes from blower to intercooler and intake, and some mounting brackets.

A turbo system would need all of that (minus the belt/pully) plus at least an entire custom manifold and additional exhaust system plumbing.

At at 5 lbs of boost you're just not gonna get much return on the cost.
