There is a shop in south orange county Mission Viejo who did Summers turbo install, but I do not reccomend them as I am currently suing them (long story...I'll just simply say...they have a piece of property that belongs to me, and will not return it...because they sold it....but they will also not give me the money!)
The shop we went to for the Dyno Runs would be capable of doing it, and the guy in the shop next to them said he could do it as well. Contact Yamaneko for the name of the dyno shop.
Since You have the 1.6L mitsu motor, Yamaneko has a turbo colt we could canabalize for parts and such...and WHAM-O You'd be turbo!

Random...the turbo on Yam's colt? Is it complete and working...whats the condition of it...what would I need to get along with it i.e intercooler etc? I'm really interested in going turbo and if this would be cheaper and easier than going with Alpine lets go for it.

Damn...I was hoping that colt was a 1.6 not a 1.3.
The guy next door to our Dyno Testing site said he could build a turbo for around $1900 bucks. If we supplied him with all the parts from Bradley's turbo, I'm sure that would knock the price down quite a bit.
If you can source out an intercooler for cheap, that help as well. You would then need....
rising rate fuel pressure regulator
new custom exhaust (built for no backpressure) New low restriction muffler and cat converter
Possibly bigger injectors
possibly a bigger fuel pump
possibly a 1.6L turbo exhaust manifold...if we cannot get the 1.3L unit to work...
and finally...a S-AFC to tune and tweak the system so the stock ECU handles the boost.
