Turbone Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I bet if you entered the word "turbo" into the search feature, you would come up with a ton of results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Yes, it is possible to put one on it. No, you don't have the skills to do so. If you did you wouldn't have to ask. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durania Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Here ya go: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=turbo+on+a+naturally+aspirated+car Just go ahead and sell one of us your GL and buy a first gen Legacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Actually, being the EA81 has an 8.7:1 compression ratio already, it would handle small amounts of boost without any internal modifications. About 5 Lbs should make a noticeable difference - probably bringing it right up near 95 or 100 HP. Is it worth the trouble? No. But it could be done if you know how to setup a blow-through carb. You still wouldn't get close to the performance of a non-turbo EJ22, and the cost/complexity would both go up. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also my engine surges while its idleing.??? What causes that by the way i never knew Its surging because its missing its turbo. Put a turbo on there and it will be fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
