-What are you going to use to pipe the air from the turbo to the engine?
-The stock 420A has higher compression and is not quite as strong as a 4G63 when boosted. So, you can't run as much boost unless you rebuild it with forged parts.
-You will need a SAFC to tune with. The stock N/T ECU isn't setup to handle boost, so you'll have to tune it richer during boost to not kill the engine.
-The N/T clutch isn't set up to handle the power of a boosted engine. You'd probably want to replace it with a better unit.
A lot of this stuff sounds simple, but in reality is extremely complex. You'd need to know exactly what you were doing in order to make this all work and not kill your engine or the turbo.
You're much better off buying a turbo DSM, or, if you're in love with your car, buying a turbo kit.
