Default turbo kit details

Who knows where to find a turbo kit for an 02 accent 1.6? I've looked every where and found nothing

there is very little. you will need to come up with your own setup.

one reason is the 1.6L does not take boost well. over 6psi it can start becoming unreliable in the long run - thats as best as i understand it, but why take that chance on blowing the pistons or something stupid. less than 6psi on a small 1.6L engine is just not worth the cost - thats my opinion anyways. if you're going to turbo do it right. get an engine that can handle the boost and get some serious power out of it.

personally i think putting a turbo on just about any 4 banger is a waste of time, but thats just me. i figure if you're going for power might as well go whole hog and turbo a 6 cylinder at minimum.
