Look (I think) under the MP3 forum. There is a guy in San Antonio who will do it. He needs more people interested but he also needs the ginea pig. Bell Engineering?

I believe it's knight engineering (or knight turbos) making the turbo kits.

You can always piece something together yourself, too. That's what I was planning to do before I found this site. Since then, I've discovered there were a few kits in the making, so I don't think I'll go through the hassel.

its not knight engineering, its bellengineering in San Antonio. We are trying to pull this stunt but so far we are still missing some people ( we need 25 ) If interested go to protegemp3.com and search either in the mp3 performance forum or the general mp3 forum for more info and if u want to sign up

Bell has a great reputation! However, their system is not ready. I recall reading something about Knight here and also their poor history, but they did have a kit or at least a test mule with a kit installed.

As for the exhaust manifold, one was mentioned in an earlier thread. However, whether or not it had accomodations for the cat was in question. Having one custom built is not all that radical a request. You'd be surprise what local speed shops are capable of. I've seen pics of a turbo install on a transverse mounted v6. . . that looked like a royal PITA.

will it work on a '00 1.6L?

I own a '00 LX 1.6L and want more power. Will this "turbo" fit a 1.6L?
