Installing a turbo on a 2nd Gen Probe GT is actually not that difficult. Assuming that a halfway decent kit is purchased, all that remains is putting the wrench time. There are a number of things that need to be removed or relocated, and also the transaxle cradle and transverse members need to be cut and welded. As long as you've done your research, have competent friends that know a turbo and common sense you should have no problem. Mine took 1 week on a 1993 PGT and that included all supporting mods for a turbo and an intercooler. If you have any questions you can shoot me an email at: albrechteja@aol.com and I'd be happy to help.

its hard as hell iv done two if you need help gizmo_pgtr@hotmail.com ill help. auto or stick
To turbocharge a 4 cyl, non turbo probe, (assuming its an 1988-1993) you need to to a few things. First, of cource, locate an exhaust manifold, turbo and down pipe (exhaust pipe that leaves turbo) from a 1988-1993 ford probe turbo. Seeing as how the car is not stock turbo, the block does not have the oil return line tapped into the block, there is no oil supply line to the turbo either. These will have to be made. Also this IHI turbo is water cooled. Additional water hoses will have to be routed. To get filtered and pressurized oil to the turbo you need to make a modification at the oil filter. There is an adapter that is availiable, here is the link (mostly used for an oil cooler)http://www.jcwhitney.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product?storeId=10101&Pr=p_Product.CATENTRY_ID%3A2000861&productId=2000861&catalogId=10101 This is where you will get your oil to and from the turbo You will also need to tap into the heater hose system to get water to and from the turbo.

A turbo timer lets some oil run through the turbo after hard use. You can accomplish the same thing by letting the engine run a minute before you cut the ignition.
its not too hard. had to do mine 2 weeks ago because some idiot smashed my window breaking in.
i wouldn't bother just get a turbo 4g63. the compression is higher on the non turbo 4g63. and the turbo 4g63 has oil squiters to cool the pistion and cylinders. you will spend as much money putting a turbo on your car as the difference would be selling your car and buying a 1g tsi awd
Open the hood and stand on the driver's side of the car, you should see the transmission. In the top right corner there are two 14MM bolts, your starter is back there, after bolts are removed, reach back there and disconnect the wires from the starter then pull it out. Shouldn't be too hard. Not sure on the automatics though.
If you step on the pedal and have no power or it's hard to accelerate you might want to get it looked at.
When you open up your hood look down on the driver's side below the radiator. It should be a white wingnut looking thingy with a tiny hose pointed to the ground. I have 1995 Ford Probe, and I found this out the hard way last month. You can also feel it from the bottom of you car when you stick your hand in
