You might want to read the vfaq before you ask a question like this. Pretty much it's damn near impossible and if you ever did get a T25 turbo onto your GS your 420A may go KABOOM or not running smoothly ever. Your safest bet IF you wanted to turbocharge your car would be to buy the turbo kits for around $1,300+.
 
I agree with her too.

as per VFAQ, you'll need:

exhaust manifold
14b turbo
02 sensor housing (mine was ported)
the turbo 02 sensor (it has a longer wire, to reach around the turbo, you don't need it if your wire already will reach, or if you rewire it yourself)
turbo fpr to match the 450cc injectors
450cc turbo fuel injectors
resistor pack for 450cc injectors
m/t federal turbo ecu for the year range of your car(1990 is different from the 91-94 cars)
wastegate actuator
aftermarket boost gauge
new fuel injector o-rings
new exhaust gaskets
your stock n/t intake tube (cut it to make an upper i/c pipe)
2 1/2" to 1 7/8" exhaust adapter
90 degree bend 2" id coolant hose
vaccume check valve for the purge canister line
UIC hard pipe and bov
soft IC pipe from IC to UIC hardpipe
stock turbo intake accordion tube w/ bov hose
turbo MAF and pigtail for wiring harness
spool of 16ga wire (a bright color, so it's easier to see in dark spots)
wire loom, solder, electrical tape
fuel pressure solenoid and pigtail
knock sensor
stock sidemount intercooler
lower i/c pipe and hose w/ gasket
turbo aircan (optional)
turbo downpipe
turbo car oil pan
oil drainback tube
5 feet of 3/8" coolant hose
turbo oil feed line w/ banjo bolts
turbo coolant lines(or make some with 1/4" steel pipe fittings)
a tube of high temp silicone sealer
3 extra (harness side) ecu pins
bolts for the turbo-to-exhaust manifold connection and that one nut (I used normal hardware store stuff, but you might want to get the correct bolts from the dealer)
copper gaskets for the lines
a whole pile of various vaccume tube, connectors, hose clamps, and an assortment of bolts and nuts(you can never have too much of this stuff, just incase)
a parts runner car
change your coolant and put in some Redline Water Wetter too
oil filter
6 quarts of mobil 1 (keep a spare one in case of leaks)
A 5 gallon gas can full of 93 octane gas, and a place to get rid of the 87 that's in your tank right now.
reset your plug gap to the setting for turbo engines
set the ignition timing back to stock
EGT gauge (get a westach or greddy, automoter and vdo don't work as fast).
Act 2600 clutch w/ street disc

I have never put a turbo in a car that did not come already equipped with one. I'd like to some day. But I bought a car that came from the factory with a turbo for the same price... and i had to do no work :thumb:
