alot more than you think
inlet, track
Exhaust manifold
intercooling pipe work etc
engine management
injectors
kit looks like its designed for LHD so there is a possibilty it will not fit a RHD
if you want to turbo your car speak to Ant @ A-Tech just do it properly and do it once as it will save you money in the long run.
Or buy my 318 turbo i have for sale
I have a 327 turbo too
so i know when things will not fit and they have to be made. as some custom parts are required.
P.S what engine do you wish to turbo
as some supercharger kits have been developed by A-tech for a number of engines which is a cheaper option then trying to build a homegrown turbo project

Heya mate, yes that sounds interesting. I'm thinking for my 325 cab, its 1992 RHD. What would you suggest for more power? I am toying with cheaper modifications but like you say I dont think its wise. What type of money are we talking for the two projects you mentioned?
