What would you do turbo wise with a 02 1.8 liter 323

I was wondering if any one can give some input as to what they would do turbo wise to a 02 model 1.8 323 as i am now in the stage of finding out the future of my car

Bolt On Kits? Street Dreams, Hiboost

Custom Jobs?

I have no idea what the future of my car is all i know is i dont need the fastest car going around i just want about 150-160 kw at the fly and if posible i want to keep my stock internals which i have heard can hold between 6-8 psi boost max.

If any one knows any thing about turboing late model 323s it would be really appreciated if they can offer me some info about bolt on kits, Custom jobs or turboing in genral as it is a completly new ball game for me.

You should start to do some reading. You have the same basic engine as the Mx-5 and their are many places who concentrate on them.
A turbo kit for an Mx-5 will not fit on a front wheel drive :cry: but the theories are the same.
I think your power goal is a little too ambitious as you'll probably want to start with a GTX exhaust manifold and turbo. And with that you shouldn't have a huge intercooler with pipes bigger then 2" or your turbo will spend most of its time filling them and not giving power to the engine.
