Youll likely need to do some supposrting mods... but it doesnt take much... Good choice in cars.

You can actually put a bigger turbo on without doing any mods... but you wont gain much. The gains come hand in hand with each supporting mod.

Put a 1st gen 6 bolt motor in.. You will have less to worry about.. And if you do that a 16g turbo should bolt up nicely and you can push more psi.. You can usually boost about 17lbs before you run into more supporting mods.. Its a good platform though..

Ya.. be carefull though, not all 1st gens have 6 bolt motors.. The 7 bolt motor is more prone to crankwalk, and if your swapping one in, you might as well just take the chance out of the equasion..

You just need a flange.. The stock bov sucks.. Thats one of the best upgrades you can do right away..
