Before I start, I should mention that I have created a forum specifically for turbocharged NA questions. It is part of my main homepage forum and can be found here. However, please read this entire document before you post questions there.

I have also made some updates since this was originally written (2002), and split this document into sections to make reading a little easier. The order is fairly chronological, so I suggest that it be read from start to finish in it's entirety. Some sections may contain items not indicated by their title because they were convenient to do at the time, or made sense in the context of this writeup. For those who have followed this process on the RX-7 Forum, you will notice that these pictures are not in chronological order. I have decided to reorder them, and group them into a more logical flowing order. I would highly recommend checking out the RX-7 Forum link since it gives a "play by play" account of the install as it happened.
