why would i want obd1?

Cause if you ever wanted to tune it after, you need a obd1 cause obd2 you cant do nothing to it. Also the motor you showed was obd1 and your car is obd2b.

lols bengali548 why would you want to replicate the power of a v6. it has to be faster lol. and you can push around 200whp on a stock motor. build the block and up the turbo. you could be making 250+whp no problem. but again if you will get someone to install it for you, you will be paying an arm and a leg. as i said previously to someone, do a lot of research and call few buddies over and you can get her done in your garage. then when stuff breaks you will know how everything works and will be able to fix it yourself.
and gas consumptions are all relative to the way you drive and the size of the turbo.

the only thing is, having friends help is not always a good thing, they can **** **** up worse. Just research and do it yourself, or have help from some one that has installed turbo kits before.

Depends. You might blow a drive shaft which is like 90$ or you can break a rod which gets pricey depending if you do labour yourself or bring it to a shop.
