Few questions about turbo'ing my 4EFE

[dcbr]

Basically I've got a N/A EP82 and its got the 100hp 4EFE. I've been told that the gen1 engine is basically a GT engine with different Pistons.

Obviously I don't want big boost.. I'm thinking 0.5/0.4 bar on a CT9, would the Pistons be able to handle this?

I was advised to put a thicker headgasket, how thick? 1.5mm? 1.9mm?

What would I need to do what I want? 4EFTE loom and ECU?

If you want to do it cheap, do like my friend. Shave of 1,5mm on piston, He has been running like this a few years, 223hp with a tb28 turbo.

Or leave it stock, and boost 0,4 bar.

Would the car be reliable if I leave it stock? And will I need a 4EFTE ECU
