I want to fix my car listed above (Limited) into a faster turbo charged car, but don’t know what works needs to be done or where to start.

Good morning,

The first thing that needs to be determined is if the engine is ready or assembled for adding a turbo. Inside the engine, you need to have a steel crankshaft and different pistons. The compression ratio needs to be around 9.5 or below.

It is not just as easy to add a turbo and life goes on. You may end up damaging the motor if you do not do it correctly.

What engine do you currently have in the car so I can check to see if your engine can handle it?
