i was looking at turboing the ka because you all have given me hope

anyway... i cant make an exhaust manifold myself so am i limited to the t3, t4 because that is all the revhard matches up or is there someone else? or adapters? or? im just not sure what turbos i can actually use because the only ones ive heard of are some garrets... never seen any hks or the such... where can i go to search up some of this stuff.. we have he word turbo in about 10k posts so my search left me pretty clueless

well we really cant help you with what turbo you want because thats preference in what you wanna spend and what sizes you want, brand, etc...
but since you cant make your own manifold, check out wwwJGStools.com/turbo
they have a cheap mani but you have to weld the Turbo flange on..(cheap to do at shop)
the majority of aftermarket turbos are T3 or T4 flange so finding one that would fit the mani wouldnt be a problem...
HKS does make aftermarket turbo...but very expensive..
theres garrett..turbonetics...K's...
well cant really get to into it, but the best thing to do is search and learn from other experiences from other people on this forum...

but wait for DOUSAN to better explain because he is the SMARTY PANTS of this forum...
