Not to take the wind outta your sails - but just read! - use the search button. There are plenty of good discussions about getting your bunny to rip.

But I hate to break it to you! - A Normally Aspirated engine does not take a turbo without a lotta mods. Not the least of which is oil squirters at the bottom of the pistons.

Now to answer Why you need - this - I know of one mechanic who used a block off a NA - on a Turbo head.

The build lasted about 2000 miles - when the #3 wrist pin siezed - when pulled - it had frozen onto the rod. Real mess!

The addon turbo kits do not boost the pressures to the level that the factory KKK turbos can.. Specifically I think the addons are about 5 to 7 psi.  And if you plug every hole - 14 or a little more on the factory installs.
