Turbocharge DIY!!!!

After I read this article, I've learnt alot of new insights about turbo.

When you buy a car, choose one with exhaust manifold facing the front of the car... Mine is towards the firewall Looks like turbo is not a major operation on the car... Just altering the intake and exhausts slightly.

 

I'm only wondering what did they do with MAP sensor? If they bypass/trick it, how does the ECU tune the car base on MAP sensor information?

 

I'm recently researching about turbo because I've test driven my friend's 83 Turbo GTI 1.6l.... Once you boost, you never go back...
