Is there a turbo(not super)charger availiable? I've checked well over 40 sites (including the ones posted above) and I don't see any. How about import parts (like the Cefiro)?

So far the only known turbocharged 5th gen is the Eibach Max.

So this Eibach is a custom turbo? i.e. Unavailable?

Guess I'll have to engineer/machine myself up one.

Good luck! There's always a lot of talk about turbocharging, but only 2 people have done it. Also, it's not as easy as it sounds/looks.

On top of my current workload (provided I get some decent engine schematics) I should be able to whip one up in about three months or so. Fine tuning it as I go.

Like I said, good luck. I look at a turbocharged engine every weekend... I've studied the design and routing... I've planned out what I have to do... trust me, you need much luck to get that thing working if you don't know what you're doing.

unless he has tons of funds and just takes it down to Jim Wolf to get it done....

i think the Eibach Max utilized the 4th gen turbo kit with custom manifolds and everything else to make it work...at 6psi...that's just running really conservatively....

hmmmm....From what i recall, the JWT turbo kit didn't add a lot of hp did it? For the price and complexity involved, the SC was better and gives you a good amount of hp over the turbo....
