Message	::Is it safe to turbo an NA and use it as daily driver. absolutely :What is needed or recommended to be done to the NA engine to run safely. stock turbo injectors. found used readily for cheap :fuel pump upgrade,etc... maybe an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator (boost reference) fuel pump should be fine. :Any write ups to it? tune on the dyno for 87 octane (where 93 is readily available). tune until detonation is heard/seen. that is now your SAFE max boost setting (when running 93 octane only). you tuned on 87 to show you what your head room was. if the Boost controller spikes or temps get crazy high, you'll be semi safe. and it wont necessarily be a cheap upgrade path. boost controllers, turbos, manifolds, exhaust, intake, everything else. but it will give you a very broad and useable power band. : :or can you list the parts of what is needed? My plan is to run turbo NA safely. If it blows, then a excuse to get TT conversion. if it blows, then why worry about safety?
