Please help turbocharge my Volvo 1800

Well I have spent a few hours searching Supra forums, so, from what I think that I have learned, I will be looking for a MKIII CT26 turbo for my slot car as the best choice at turbocharging. Too bad I didn't know this about a year ago when I could have picked up an entire car for a couple hundred bucks (as it usually goes) and I'll bet there aren't any more around within 500 miles of me.

I will also be adding a Mega-Squirt fuel injection computor and bigger fuel injectors and fuel pump.

Any tips as I go about trying to accomplish this project? What I do know is to not buy anything made in China, beware of cracked turbine houseings, and add some kind of shim pack to up the boost pressure.

Thanks for the advise.
