You just answered your own question. If you want to go Turbo, do it the right way or don't do it at all. You're going to change car in 6 months... don't even bother with turboing the 4g94.

It's a rather small turbo

Anything can work, but given the size of the unit you'll max it out. Sure you won't see much lag, but you won't be able to push much boost without damaging the unit. It wouldn't be efficient. Also, because of it's size, let say you push 6psi out of it. Well that 6 psi will be much hotter than 6psi from a t-25 or a t3/t4. That means that 6psi from K03 won't be as effective as 6psi from T-25, and that also means you will have to be very carefull with fuel to keep the combustion chamber at a proper temperature.

Also, you'll need to pioneer a turbo manifold, since nobody manufacture a turbo manifold with that kind of flance. Hell, we have a hard time finding a manifold to fit a t-25, imagine a K03.

By the way. I'm no turbo expert. I may be wrong on some of the stuff I wrote up there. I know it's not a good route to take, and those are the reasons I think that way. If anyone sees anything wrong or misleading in my post, please let me know.

ko3 is a vw/audi turbo...it's very small...boost comes in quick...very very strong turbo, however, the orientation is backwards to that of a mitsu so you'd have to run a ton of piping to get it to mount....dont' waste your time on it. Ko4 maybe...definetly not a ko3.
