i see your a very new member lol. your gonna get lit up by people if you dont search first. every question about turbos is on the turbo forums. search before you ask. but automatics arent the best to put turbos on. there weaker then a manual with a turbo is. if you do it build your tranny and bottom end or take the risk of blowing your motor. www.dezod.com is where you can find the turbos for our car

Its just too easy to flame him for this, hahaha. Almost as easy as looking for that pesky search button. It somehow manages to elude many of the new members.

To answer your question, Its a bad idea to put a turbo on any car. lol I guess it all depends on how much punishment you are willing to take and what your goals are. I'd leave it personally. It takes a LOT of work to turbo one of these things the right way.

Dont forget these ones:

How big of a nitrous bottle can I use on my car?? I was thinkin a 20 lb bottle for maximum power but I might just use two 10lb bottles to even out the weight for best handling. And then connect em with some like 3/8 fuel line and some duct tape. Does this sound like a good idea?? Also does anyone know how to adjust my fuel injectors, it smells like its running lean.
