      kind of interested myself in doing the exact same thing... just something small and fun to daily around in nothing crazy. just ordered a jim c chip for my eta... small turbo build was my next idea... curious to see what other people run on just m20b27 motors with stock chips and internals.

        I'm on a retuned stock chip running 12 psi and its pretty fun. It's a similar turbo to the garrett Einstein posted earlier.

          I'm in the process of doing this on my eta as well, I'll be doing the head swap/1.3 conversion when I get more money. The turbo I got for free so that's why I'm doing fi first, what do you have done to yours to allow 12psi?

            So I could run 5-7psi without engine management? Obviously thats not how you make optimal power, but its doable?
            YOu need engine management, bottom line. If you like blowing up use stock.

              It has larger injectors, m30 afm that has been tinkered with, and a "turbo chip" in the motronic ecu.

                Where would I go to get my hands on a turbo chip? I heard the eta engines ran low impedance injectors, what are good ones to get and where?

                  I have a turbo chipped ecu laying around, if you want it, pm me.
                  But my suggestion, go MegaSquirt. It's worth the extra money.

                    I'll be going mega squirt eventually. It's just that the turbo fell in my lap for free, and that is one of the most expensive parts. So I figured what the hell and started going this route. Thanks I'll be sending pm then.
