Turboing a car takes alot of work, you would need to built a custom manifold, get a bunch of hoses, piping, buy the turbo, BOV etc. I dunno all the specifics, i just know that you really need to know what you are doing if you want to turbo the car. The engine needs to be in good shape (compression ratios), you would most likely need to purchase a fuel pump(walbro 255), probably put millenia injectors etc

Brand new turbo kits vary from $1500 - $2000, custom building your parts and maybe rebuilding a turbo would be alot cheaper, but still pricey if you want it done right. If you don't know what you are doing, or don't know the engine well, then taking it to a mechanic would be the best choice but that may cost a pretty penny.

i would suggest searching more on www.mx6.com for info about it. There are TONS of articles and threads to search about improving your hp and torque, also has info about the KLZE if you are interested in that. Hope this helps
