for some time, i've wondered why forced induction isn't more common on our toyota 4 bangers. it seems that almost every other make has successfully been turboed or supercharged, but for some reason, the idea of cramming some extra cubes down the good old 22R-E is sort of taboo.

i was wondering, what it would take to build a reliable turbo engine, using a lower compression ratio(e.g. OE turbo pistons) and either LC's $$$$ turbo kit, or cobbled together from other parts.

the goal would be something simple, no intercoolers or fancy computers -- just something to push things to 22RTE levels. we're mainly going after torque here, otherwise i'd just stick to good old N/A performance. would the factory computer be able to handle it?
