I'll try.... The engines are the same (the basics anyway) so people pull the engine out of a wrecked VR4 and install it in their FWD model. Some just take the parts (intercoolers, piping, manifolds, etc) and add them to their existing engine. AWD is not a required component of turbo'ing a car (maybe for traction ). Some people even use thier AT in their conversions. Jomojr (a member here) went this route I think. Does this make sense?? Let me know and I'll try to explain further if I can.

It isn't quite that simple, but yeah, that's the jist of it.

Parts you'll need for a conversion.

Price depends upon you buying new or used parts and how much wrenching you do yourself. Just a rough estimate; 3 to 10 thousand dollars.
