How to (for the inpatients)
I started out in a weird way actually. I had seen many homemade setups and I'm mechanically inclined and had access to equipment, but I didn't figure I had enought $$$ for even the homemade deal.

Wrong.
I was windowshopping at a local salvage yard and found a 90 Plymouth laser RS. It's one of the FWD turbo DSM's. I bought a bunch of stuff and ended up giving $22 for the turbo, intercooler, and bypass assembly.

The other parts were bought online and local Ace True Value.

First things to do is get the parts listed above.

You can find the adapter plates on several internet forums, email me if you need some links.

This is actually an easy job.

To start with I removed all the stock exhaust and intake tube peices. Yank the AC and the radiator out also, cause it will just get in the way.

Start by bolting the manifold up. Depending on were you get your adapter plate you may have to bend the dipstick tube a little. No big deal. I made my own adapter plate and it was a little thicker which put the wastegate into the front crossmember of my CRX. 5th gens don't have that problem. I just took some metal out with a dremel tool.

Note: I had to cut my front crossmember and my bumper support. If you screw up your ride don't blame it on me


Once the turbo bolts up and you have a 1/2" of clearance on all points you are ready to move on. The water lines are easy to do. That's what the 10ft of fuel hose is for. Look on the back of your intake manifold for your EACV valve it looks like this
