cant really help you on where. An install of these isnt all that difficult. And turbonetics makes very good turbo's as well. They dont make a whole kit though.

Had a Turbonetics on a volvo once... it was actually cheaper than getting the TD04L from the dealership... also a lot more powerful and spooled up quicker IMO.

Another question about a turbo on a 420a. If you install a turbo on a 420a what in terms of an exhaust will you need? Will a exhaust for a gst fit?? or do you just need a down pipe to go the cat?? I am trying to find all the peices of the puzzle before I get my hands dirty. Thanks for the help.

To turbo a 420A, you will need.

1.) God in your life.
2.) A case of beer, or 3.
3.) Luck
4.) Money to replace to the blown up parts.
5.) More God

A gst exhaust will not work simply because he car is not a gst.
Its an entirely different engine and drivetrain. By adding a turbo to an RS/GS, that does not automatically make the car a GST/GSX, its just a 420A with a turbo on it.
When you pick your exhaust, buy one for a 420A, and worse case scenario is you may have to do a little fabricating.

Even though I know its been said a milion times, I'm gonna say it again.
Don't waste money on turbo'ing an RS/GS, buy the time you've spent all that $$$, you could have easily bought a GS-T/GS-X for what may possibly be less $$$.

with whatever you get, you have to make sure you can get a manifold for that turbo to install on your car. And for exhuast i would suggest getting something custom made. Your gonna need a new downpipe to match at the turbo. And you definetly need bigger piping. But before you start buying stuff. First build an entire list of everything you need. Put a price next to them, and add it up. Then decide if you really want to spend it.

I know by installing a turbo on a 420a it doesn't make it a gst... And in regards to buying a gst or a gsx, i dont have a spare 7G's. I payed 3 for my GS and I was looking in the classifieds and there is someone selling a kit for the 420a for just over a grand and it only has 1k miles on it. So I would have a turboed GS for about 5k Engineer, what size exhaust would i be looking for?
