welcome to the forums, just to warn you, your probably going to get flamed really hard for asking this question, because it's been covered MANY times.

please use the search link to search what you want "SOHC Turbo" or something
search.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

the first part you probably need is education before the turbo or any other parts

another one for the flames ...

Honestly with the 92-93 RS models like you have, your best bet is to do a BP swap. There is a (semi) guide to the BP swap at the top ot the 4Cyl forum, and then the 4Cyl FAQ section has a ton of info on it too.

My first BP swap took me a week and cost me ~$600. You'd spend that just on the exhaust header for your turbo setup.
The B6 SOHC produced ~82-88 hp
The BP DOHC produced ~130-145 hp
turbo models...
The B6T DOHC ~132-147 hp (IDK if there was a SOHC B6 model)
The BPT DOHC ~179-209 hp

As you can see based on expense and HP numbers it would be better advised to go the BP, BPT route. The BP can be found in a larger number of cars, so parts are found easier too. Check wikipedia for a list of donor cars http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda_B_engine" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

Also learn how to use the search function to avoid the flames. It's up top of the page ^^^ away from the heat.
Wings on an MX3? What are you thinking?
