First off, anyone who is interested in turbocharging their car needs to undrerstand the rule of boost. Once you understand that you are half way to your goal.
Secondly you need to know that you need to be starting with a strong engine, otherwise you will not last very long. Strong doesn't necessarily mean built motor, but throwing a turbo kit boosting 12PSI on a motor with 200,000 miles on it isn't the smartest thing. Do a compression test on your motor to ensure you have good compression across all cylinders. Probably would be a good idea to decarb the motor, get out any old junk built up in your oil system as well as in your cylinders.
FUELING {Cost Range = $400 - $700}
1. Upgrade Fuel Pump
___* Walbro
___* Venom Performance
2. Upgrade Injectors
___* Venom Performance
___* RC Engineering
___* 88-92 Ford Probe/Mx6 Turbo (make sure its the one with the plug identical to that of the 2.0 2nd Gen)
3. Install Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator
___* AEM
___* Weapon R
___* Aeromotive (This is the most common used by Probe and Mx6 owners)
___* MBX FPR Kit (This includes the Aeromotive AFPR and all needed lines and fittings)
Turbo Kit Parts - Non Intercooled
Here is what you will need, for a basic non-intercooled turbo kit Non intercooled is good for up to 8PSI safely, some wouldnt recommend it at all. However plenty do run this much.
1. Turbo Manifold {Cost Range = $200 - $1000}
___* JGS Turbo
___* HiBoost
___* RacingMazda
___* Obx
___* MentalAddictionMotorsports
___* Stock Mazdaspeed Protege Manifold
___* Modified 93-95 Stock Exhuast Manifold
___* Modified 96-97 Stock Exhuast Manifold
2. DownPipe {Cost Range = $200 - $400}
(Downpipe will be solely dependent on what turbo you use. Also, your turbo manifolds some will be IHI style turbos and some with T3 flanges.)
3. Turbo {Cost Range = $400 - $700}
There are many more brands than this, this is just to name a few.
___* Garrett
___* Greddy
___* Precision Turbos
___* Master Power
4. Turbo Sizes
___* T3/T04e .55ar comp. 60trim. .63ar P trim turbine
___* T3/T04e .48ar turbine .50ar compressor with a 55trim
___* IHI VF22
___* GT3076 - R
___* GT2860RS
There are many more turbos, but the T3/T04e is the most commonly used by Turbo 2.0 Probes and Mx6's
5. Blow Off Valves {Cost Range = $200 - $500}
___* Greddy (Many different variants)
___* A'Pexi
___* HKS
___* Blitz
6. External Wastegates {Cost Range = $200 - $500}
___* Teal (Many different Variants)
___* Greddy
___* HKS
___* Innovative
7. Turbo Oil Lines {Cost Range = $50 - $150}
These can be assembled by parts purchased from Summit Racing or JEGS.
8. Couplers {Cost Range = $50 - $150}
___* eBay couplers
___* Samco
___* Hose Techniques
___* Sport Hoses
9. Intake Piping
Recommend using 2.5" pipe for the piping from the turbo to the throttle body. You will need a MAF adapter if you plan to keep the MAF. It is not recommended to use the MAF between the turbo and the TB as a blow through design. You can run lower amounts of boost, but when you get into higher amounts you want something that can handle the hard blow through.
10. Boost Controllers
___* Manual boost controllers
___* Electronic boost controllers (Apeci, blitz greddy, etc,,,)
