Turboing

What parts do i need for a basic set up? I'm looking for 230whp max. I know with good compression i dont need forged internals or anything, but what all do i need besides: Turbo (obviously), exhaust manifold, larger injectors, FMIC & piping. What are the limits of the stock fuel set up? Do i need a walbro for this goal?

Any help is appreciated!

Also, do you guys think that it would be feasable to swap the trans and turbo on a 6500 budget?

Chubbers, I am no expert, but I'd say that unless you're planning on rescuing a lonely transmission (with low milage) from a junkyard and installing it yourself in addition to the turbo, you'll be paying slightly more than $6500.

If you do actually follow through with a tranny swap and a turbo setup, I've heard that the MP2 transmissions (out of an sc1 or sl1) are better suited to turbocharging due to their gear ratios. Food for thought
