I was bored one day and got to thinking about the whole custom turbo idea and forgive me if im wrong but this is what you would need to do the job.
1. Get Some type of turbo
2. Get a header made up to fit that turbo
3. Get fuel pump and regulator from an acura rsx
4. Get some sort of engine management system (EX: AEM engine management system)

Again, this is what i came up with. If theres something im missing, post it.

later

How bout an intercooler, intercooler piping, downpipe, blow off valve, and waste gate?
The guys at South Florida Performance can hook u up with a custom turbo manifold.
You may also want to upgrade to at least 2" piping so the turbo will spool up a bit quicker.
Of course, the first thing you'd have to do is make room for the turbo.[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Oh yeah, you would probably want a boost gauge and A/F ratio gauge.

You might also need a TURBO TIMER!!! And you will need to open up that motor and change the compression ratio as well as perhaps port and polish a few things. Slapping on a turbo is fun, but not if you don't prepare that little motor for what's coming. Depending on how strong the turbo is you may even need to get reinforced or stronger motormounts. Did you forget you will be needing new clutch too (if your car is stick that is). You can even go with 2.25" piping for the turbo.

a/f gauge as well as boost gauge wouldn't hurt

you wont need to drop the compression if you keep the boost down

Yeah, if you want to go above 4 or 5 lbs of boost, you better rebuild your bottom end.

Not too mention the various fittings and such. Aslo, have you even considered where you will tap into the block for an oil feed line. Im looking over it this weekend, but just wondering if anyone is a step ahead of me.

if hey doesnt use more than 8 pounds of boost he doesnt need any engine mods all he needs is a head gasget
ones he goes ova that limit hes gonna need engine mods but i daubt hed be able to go higher than that anyway cause getting our engiens to pewk more gas is gonna take money

dont forget a cast iron manifold, ignition, plugs with a colder spark, plus wires, intake, high flow cat, boost controller....lots of loot for that, but more power to ya if you can afford it.

Here's what I was going to do:

T25 or T3 Garrett Ball-Bearing Turbocharger
Trust Intercooler, piping, etc.
Greddy Dual Sequential BlowOff Valve
Colder spark plugs
Custom Exhaust manifold
Fuel Pressure, Boost, A/F Ratio Guages (knock sensor too)
O2 Sensor Simulator
Custom downpipe, exhaust w/ hi-flow cat & APEX'i Dunk or N1 muffler
Turbo Timer, Oil Pressure guage tapped just before the turbo
All fittings, etc.

Our fuel system can handle a 50 shot of nitrous and compensate, so it will compensate 5-7psi of boost.
As for tapping in to the Oil line for the turbo, there's a threaded spot on the block where a line taps in, can't remember where, but a T-Fitting and the proper hoses/fittings should do the job.

you can tap into the oil from where the oil pressure sending unit is, but make sure the tap has a spot to hole the sending unit or your oil light will always be on.
