Finding a turbo sol is gonna be next to impossible. What you need to do is get a turbo off of a DSM, then get a CRX HF manifold, and down pipe. Take them to a machine shop and ahve them rework teh flanges or make an adapter plate. Most people go this route when doing a junkyard turbo because of the ease and cost. The only problems are finding a shop to make the manifold. You may be able to find one. Check out
http://resource.crx.org Someone might be selling one. Then check out a DSM board to find someone selling a stock turbo. Then you need a BOV, some gauges, and some oil lines. You'll probably want to get a bigger fuel pump, adjustable FPR and bigger injectors too. Depends how much boost you run, and your AF mixture. don't need to be blowing any engines now, do we?
