in all honesty its realy not worth turboing a ej22, yes it can be done but by the end your looking at a $1000+ set up.

plus you can only run like 5-6psi so I mean you would probably only be liken like 175 crank hp

toss in some fresh plugs and wires, then install a nice intake, along with a more free flowing muffler, and a light weight crank pully, and that will keep you happy for a while

Ya but even swaping a car gets pricey if you can't do the wiring yourself

the best bet is to save up for a turboed car, in the mean time throw a few boltons on your legacy, you'll be surprised at how much stronger the power will feel
