You'll be stuck with a piggyback ECU due to the auto

Steampipe manifold ~$500

secondhand turbo ~$250

oil and water lines ~$250

gasket kit $80

Full 2.5" turbo-back exhaust with metalcat ~$1000

Ebay cooler $150

Pipework and silicon hoses/clamps $600

Emanage ultimate ~$500

2ZZ injectors ~$200

Bosch BOV $45

Auto Trans cooler $200

Dyno Tuning ~$300-500

in-bay Battery relocation kit $100

Charcoal cannister suitable for turbo + mount $150

Intake pipe with MAF mount and suitable filter $300

Labour ~$3K for 7 days worth.

And a couple of thousand for any extra bits (boost guage etc)

If more boost if wanted, add low compression pistons and stronger conrods.

And bigger injectors and beefed up auto etc etc etc

[MR22ZZ]

not to mention the valves and springs

[T_Money]

While the heads are open may as well put some turbo cams in. Might need a higher flowing fuel pump too.

[Fronozby]

How strong are the Auto boxes??

:S

[Suprathai]

Autobox might have trouble shifting in the first two gears unless you limit you limit your boost

Labour will chop you heaps.....

I'm starting my collection at the moment oh so slowly.......

Corolla Sportivo

2nd hand turbo

PFC

Manifold next in line

Manifold next in line

[Suprathai]

I reckon I'm always changing my bloody mind....

Picking up turbo soon, and then its time to DIY design the manifold....need to enlist the service of a welder/cutter though.
