My question is, how much power can I install before I have to worry about other things not holding up like Transmission, rear end, clutch etc.
Thanks to everyone for there thoughts in reguards to a WR.
Hi I am sorry to inform you that finding and fitting a turbo will neither be cheap or easy.
A few have talked about it but haven't seen many if any that have carried it off.
As your car is basically stock you still have a few options to increase your cars horses.
Remember stock your car is 215bhp, this can be increased quite alot without looking at turbos by changing the intake, exhaust, injectors, ecu remap etc. TVT_DESIGN have a dyno proven 250+ bhp by changing the above.

Have a look at the threads posted by TVT_DESIGN, Inmotion, Needswings and you will find your extra power alot quicker and save the head ache of trying to fit a turbo.
