12a turbo

I've seen alot of you guys put turbos on your N/A 12a's, usually with the 2nd gen's turbo. How driveable is the car now that you put on a turbo compared to before, and are you gaining as much power as expected? Just wondering if it's worth looking into. Also, has anyone put a 20b into the first gen RX-7 with good results? Seems like a decent idea.

I plan on doing a TII or similar turbo setup in the future. As far as the 20B, its been covered.

Yes there are a few people with 20B's in their FB's. The car is ten million times more driveable with a turbo setup than a bridgeport or peripheral port.

For more information on the topic please refer to the local search button as turboing the 12A requires a ton of modifying and custom fabrication work.

Does anyone have pictures or links to FB's with a 20b swap? I think that'd be the best way to go if it's not really really expensive.
