What parts would I need to get hold of?
The head has already been uprated and should be strong, what other parts do I need? Thanks.

Depends on the CR of the engine as it is, and how much boost you are going to run. You will prolly need to look at lowering compression ratio for a start. Then you'd need to fit a bulkhead box to give the turbo room. The turbo section of this forum is a good start for research.

I can do you a good head for turboing. Have a look in the turbo section for info on the whole subject tho. A word of warning, A series engines are not the best for forced induction because of their poor reliability under the stresses forced induction puts on them, after all they were only designed for around 30bhp.
