read the stickys at the top or go to the hotshot website and it has the list of stuff you need. This question has been answered one too many times like everyone else will tell you....im just giving you a little bit of info before someone tells you to search.
for any car? well...any manufacturer that builds turbo kits have almost the same parts as any other manufacturer because thats what turbo components are made up of...if you want an answer as to how they work then you need to be more specific about what your question is...ill give you an answer to the best of my knowledge.
Turbo>Intercooler(2 cool the pressurized air)>Throttlebody
Misc Items-Blow Off Valve, Wastegate(only for external use), Piping, Exhaust Manifold, Injectors(upgrade to larger ones if needed), Fuel Pump, Probbably some new internals if running high boost, ECU upgrade(if needed)...
[Just visit a shop nearest you and ask them about custom turbo settups, they'll tell you exactly what u need 2 noe.]

Well I got a 83 VW Jetta GL. its got the 1.7 bottom end with the 1.6 head. The stock 1.7 motor has 8.0 to 1 compression ratio and with the 1.6 head it has 8.2 to 1 compression ratio. Both come stock with fordged pistons. I am looknig to turbocharge it and just wanna do a custom setup at home. My brothers friend has a turbo and I am thining about getting it from him.

dont bother turboing that motor..it will make shite for power...for the money you could just put an aba in there and be much happier...even if it is only a 115 bhp motor...they are fun as hell in a mk1

personally i object to this post...some say that the GA wont make shit for power but hey, im doing it, others have did it and are extremely happy. Do what you want, although i dont know the strength of the motor, just do what you wanna do.

yeh i know what you are referring to...im just making an example but i agree i wasnt specific in my post, but what i mean was since both motors are 1.6L or similar then they will provide similar responses into forced induction upgrades. Although they arent gonna put out the same numbers since they are different but they will make less power then lets say...a 2.0L motor. In the end it will still be enough to kick the average persons ass in the 1/4 mile. Really, how many people do you come upon with a turbo under the hood....not many.
his 85 jetta i'm pretty sure is Cis injection...making power out of this fueling isn't cheap...the power to dollar ratio is no good...i mean if he wants to make power out of that motor, thats fine..i'm just saying thats not really worth it to turbo such an outdated fueling system...and whats he goin to do...go programmable...thats a thousand bucks alone...and unfortunately more cars have turbos now than ever....turboing the vw 1.6L wont' even be enough to beat up on stock Neon SRT's and thats just one of the many cars that are brand new and relatively cheap...so yah..i do think that every little punk now is goin to have a prettty quick car...and that if you want to be competetive, you should think about doing something a bit bigger than a 1.6L Cis motor.
