Well it seems the hardest thing to do, at least in the fabrication stage, is the exaust tubes, which you could have a shop fabricate for you. But after that a turbo i kind of uncharted teritory, as far as computer tunning goes. You might want to wait and see how this new kit works out.

850? what does that include besides the turbo itself? How big is the turbo, is it intercooled?

This is from their FAQ...

If you have access to fabrication capabilities, Majestic Turbo can custom build a turbocharger to your horsepower specifications; however, no hoses, lines, downpipe(s), manifold, nor intercooler are included. Thus, if your vehicle does not currently have a turbo system, you need to weigh the expense of removing / replacing the vehicle's exhaust system and additional fabrication costs, plus the cost of installation and a turbo. Majestic Turbo does not sell turbo kits, but we know and sell turbos. If you cannot meet fabrication demands, we can recommend other providers (see links) who can outfit your vehicle with a new exhaust system and other required components to accommodate a turbo. (The exhaust manifold is critical and the most difficult portion to accomplish. Majestic Turbo has access to certain models of manifolds. Please call us for a consultation).

We will then be happy to consult with you and your fabricator about the type of turbo that should be sized to your vehicle and the new exhaust system.

Should you desire to purchase a complete kit, please call us at Majestic Turbo for consulting and for type, regarding the potential kit purchase. Additionally, you might start by looking on the Internet for owner's groups of your particular model, make of vehicle; kits may be suggested there. Again, please call us regarding kits--we are happy to advise you in kit purchases<hr></blockquote>
