Hi there, I hope you are well. May I wish you a warm welcome to TorqueCars, it is a pleasure to meet you.
You'll find us a pretty friendly bunch and I'm sure you'll start to love and enjoy the forums as much as we all do. (It gets quite addictive at times.)
Feel free to get involved in our other threads, all opinions are welcome and as they say "the more the merrier"! (It's also great when people start new threads and discussions and all adds to the great debate.)
Keep us up to date with your project as well, we like to see what people are getting up to with their cars.
We get asked this question a lot so have a look at this thread which covers the basics.
I have to admire your ambition though!
And I hope you pull it off.

Cheap turbos can be purchased from breakers yards which are ideal for a try it and see type project.
Please note that I don't think it is worth adding a turbo to an old car with a small capacity engine. There is nothing stopping you but the money and hassle will just not be worth the power gain you get. It is better to just buy a better car for your tuning project.
Adding a turbo is a major engineering task and without a kit with full instructions and all the parts you need there is a big risk of blowing up the engine. Expect to spend 50 hours upwards on a project of this type. This is not the sort of modification you should undertake unless you are mechanically competent and know what you are doing.
It is worth looking at superchargers as these are generally much easier to install than a turbo is.
