The biggest problem with aftermarket turbo applicaitons is that the engine internals are not up to the task of 15+ lbs of boost. Most stock engines are good up to 5-7lbs. This is very difficult to achieve with turbos as most turbos are great for 15lbs and up, but don’t give even boost at 7lbs. Superchargers are usually used for this application becasue although they may not be quite as efficient, they are better suited to low boost applications such as a stock engine. If you have the coin for a big upgrade, I’d sell that vehicle and buy a more tuner friendly vehicle.
Hope that helps.
you would have to change alot, ie: spark plugs, fuel injectors, maybe a new cylinder head, and if the kit dosnt come with it you will need a boost gauge and an intercooler

With that setup you would be better to go with a Comptech Supercharger. They make one specificlly for that motor.
Yea the motor can, but there is alot more work than ” just adding a turbo ” the ecu has to be re programed usually. Just to start.
You better connect it to the engine because it won’t do much for the automatic transmission.
The answer is…………YES.
