You will need a turbo kit of course. Then, you will need larger injectors. Depending on your desired power, the injectors may range from 36 lb/hr up to 60 lb/hr along with either a matching MAF calibration or a custom tune (recommended).

Try "ponydown" or "bgturbo" for a cost-effective turbo-kit. They do very well and don't cost too much.

Also plan on having enough fuel pump, a nice regulator, a fuel pressure gauge to monitor, and a wideband O2 setup to keep tabs on A/F ratio.

keep the boost low. GT40 irons are prone to warp under boost.
