Adding a larger turbo to what? A TII, or N/A?

Turbo upgrades generally need a standalone ecu, bigger injectors & a bigger fuel pump, new exhaust manifold, custom oil / coolant lines at the minimum.

Rotaryrocket88 hit it right on the head.

Look into the turbo section: https://www.rx7club.com/single-turbo-rx-7s-23/

Look what others have done: https://www.rx7club.com/single-turbo-rx-7s-23/build-has-begun-814584/

And Build your own.

Best of Luck!

Not quite. For a biggER turbo you're basically looking at anywhere as low as $500-1000. Bigger you go the more expensive it gets.

yeah maybe for a bnr or something, even then you need, injectors, fuel pump, and some sort of fuel management.

I honestly thought 3000 was on the low side. You can definitely spend a lot more than that even. But I would say 2500 to 3000 could get it done.
