200hp is a big boost, there's nothing else that would be required???

I've heard the only way to put a turbo on the sohc is by buying a custom setup from boosthead.com. But the best way to have a turbocharged engine on our mx-3s is supposed to be by getting a engine swap to a B6T or BPT.I have decided to go with the B6T engine from corksport.com can't wait to get it.
