Ok, I am going to turbo my 420a but i have a couple questions first. I want to make about 210 to 220whp, what turbo do you guys recommend? I want quick spool up time. Also will i have to upgrade fuel injectors and pump if i only want to make 220whp?

BUy something small like a 50 trim or something. You only need to upgrade yur fuel pump, not injectors. You can only boost 8psi until you upgrade your internals.

Please do a search. EVERY SINGLE new member asks this same exact question. It happens all the time and no one takes the time to stop and search. You would find tons and tons of answers. Please SEARCH!
 
I do search but i couldn't find anywere were it talks about the size of stock 420a injectors and there hp capacity.
If there is a place were it has specifics on stock injector capacities then let me know please.
 
Thanks, there is alot of useful info there but it still didn't say the size of the injector. I just want to know if i run a turbo on stock injectors will i run to lean? I was going to change the fuel pump anyway.
 
And, no you won't run too lean. I'm turboing a 420a too, there's tons of threads about this and whether you need to upgrade fuel pump or injectors, what you need to go up to...

It is blatantly obvious you did not read very much at all. Stop skimming over things and actually search around.

We will not spoon feed you info here.
 
Thanks thats all i wanted to know, it may sound like im new at this but trust me i do all the work on my car myself. I just didn't know if stock injectors could handle the extra power. I have bought everything for this to work properly like better clutch all new susp. better axles and all the stuff needed except manifold, turbo.
 
Thanks for the advice guys, even though some people got cranky.
 
Like many have said, this subject has been covered quite a bit. Please look around both our 420A Turbo Conversion forum and the Tech Articles sections.

There will be a thread coming to our 420A FAQ section soon detailing the several options for turbocharging your 420A. At that point, in accordance with the DSMTuners rules, users posting threads regarding questions found in the FAQ will be penalized.

Also, for a few of you who posted responses, remember not to simply post "do a search;" either post a link or don't post at all.
