i turboed mine, its fairly cheap, prolly cost me 1600 bux, in total, but it is a bitch to do the install, because you need to custom make all the intercooler piping and stuff, and you need to piece everything together, ill post up pics of mine, with a list of stuff i used in a bit.

sup guys im bored as crap, so i figured ill post a parts list for anyone wanting to turbo their 1.6 litre, or if they have any questions
ok first you need to obtain a turbo, i am using a t-25 from a second gen eclipse, very easy to find, ebay always has like 10 of them,
now for the harder to find parts, you will need, and can get, the manifold, the downpipe, the oil supply, the oil return, and a heatshield for the turbo if needed, from andy at www.wagnermotorsports.net,
other things you will need, that you can also source from ebay, or performance shops, i choose ebay, because its cheaper, you will need a blow off valve, or a bypass valve, which ever you choose, i am running an HKS SSQV, i love it, also you will need some sort of fuel management, i have a vortec 12:1 fuel pressure regulator, which works for now, but is not the best for tuning, i run real rich with it, so i suggest a rising rate fuel pressure regulator, or an adjustable one,
other things are the intercooler, if you choose to run one, and the intercooler piping, i bougt mine from ebay, and it works great, this is also your choice, just make sure you dont buy a hugh one if you run a stock bumper, their is very little room to fit a massive intercooler behind it, now for piping, i bought mine from jc whitney, it was alluminized, u-bends, i also suggest 2 inch for this setup, for minimul boost lag,
now for the smaller other stuff, you will need all gaskets, for the mani, the turbo flange its self, the downpipe, ect, you will need to go to mazda and mitsu for these, no biggie, also you will need hose clamps, dont waist your time, get the t-bolt right off, and hose connectors, you can find this as well on ebay, or a napa, also has some really good stuff. you will need to pick up an air filter, if you dont allready have one, also you need gauges i used autometer, boost,oil pressure, airfuel, and exust temp, you can also buy a gauge pod, so you have a place to put them, also a boost controller, i have the TURBO XS its sweet, and works real good, i also bought a turbo timer, and a shift light.
