Re: Turbo engine in a n/a
Not really anything you would HAVE to do as the were little in the way of differences between the turbo and na version of the car (ie ran same suspension, brakes, etc)
On any car you would be advised to at least check the suspension& brakes, wheel alignment to make sure the are ok. I would deffo think about replacing the brakes for the bigger rev2 onwards sets if you've got a rev 1.
Spending some money on improving the standard suspension set up is a worthwhile investment unless you already have done it. A nice set of yellow billies with some eibach pro-kit springs and TRD top mounts is a popular choice, and if you add ploy bushes and new anti roll bars it would transform the handling of the car to match the new performance you have.
The difference between an na and turbo in power is quite a lot so careful with that heavy right foot, try to drive smoothly and turn that boost down in the rain.
Ask James if your unsure of anything or want some advice

Re: Turbo engine in a n/a
an mbc would only be needed to increase boost, the standard rev3 was 240bhp so you should have around that figure too start. a healthy rev3 with bolt ons can be 300bhp read the articles in the knowledge base for futher info and advice on that
