Default My GSI

well i am new to the world of little cars and turbos being from the muscle car era. But i have a 1991 Geo Storm GSI with a 1.6L DOHC engine in it and it is a pretty quick car but i would like to try to make it a bit quicker. I believe it is a isuzu motor and it was used in the impulse also. What i would like to know is what turbo charger can i use on this motor. Can somebody help me?

well it being a 1.6 you could put any turbo you see on some of the d16 hondas here. a good choice would be a turbo off of a 1g dsm car or a t3 off from a turbocoupe. i think the car in scc had a t3/t4 but that is pretty much a drag race turbo. you can put pretty much any turbo from a junkyard car as long as you can get a turbo manifold for it.
