hello guys I had some questions!

I have an Hyundai I30 FD 1.4 petrol 5 speed manuel
I have this car now for some time and I want to turbocharge it to make more power. I have lots of room in my engine bay so it should work. can you guys help me with finding parts or with tips and tricks.

You'll be up for a small fortune, gearbox will need upgrading as well as drive shafts, exhaust system modifications, ported head with new cam and valve springs.

Then you'll need something like a Haltech ECU to make it all work and that alone with tuning would be roughly 3 to 5K AU.

Be cheaper to get a factory turbo engine - gearbox and driveline from another Hyundai or trade up to a turbo model.
