im going to turbo my 97 gl but i need to know what the best location for the turbo is and how big of an intercooler will fit up front. Im goiong to be using a used TE04H turbo but i need to find a rebuild kit. Anyody know where i can get one? i would also like to know what the best intake setup would be. the compressor inlet will be facing the right side of the car and the outlet will be facing the front of the car. any info and pics would be very helpfull thanks.

Try searching this forum!  You want to put a T4 onto a 4cyl (assumed from the fact you have a GL)?    You are in way over your head.  At least buy the book "Maximum Boost" by Corky Bell and read up on this because it's obvious you're going in totally blind from the turbo you picked for starters, as well as the other vague question you threw out there.

You could get a V6 GL in 97 stripped out. Vewy vewy rare. I'm guessing his isn't though.

I wondered if they were real, there's a tour out near me for sale, the badge was GL, but had the 24v dohc emblem, and i wasn't sure if it was a real or not. Guess it's real.

that turbo is HUGE! If thats a 4 cylinder, youll probably just start spooling the turbo at 4,000 rpms. I suggest you may want to take a set back and think again about what your doing here, because youve picked one of the biggest turbos for your platform.

Are you sure your thinking of the right turbo? Here's a map for a TE04H-13C.
It would actually almost be too small for a Zetec. At a PR of 1.5, at 6500rpms, you would hit 0.135m3/s. That's on the very edge of the map. It would be fully spooled by 1500rpm.
At a PR of 2.0, it would spool by 1900rpms but fall off the map at 5700rpms. A little small for that much boost.
If he's planning on sticking with the stock head, cam, and intake, it should be pretty perfect. There's really no room for expansion though.

Yeah but he'll superheat the air and effectively render the added boost useless, seeing as he is going to be WAY out of the compressor efficiency.

Thank you buttonpuncher for backing me up on this. i do plan to stay with stock head, and cam.
the turbo is off an 89 plymouth voyager with the chrysler 2.5 turbo. i wont superheat the air if i send it through an intercooler

A 16 y.o. turbo!? Man that thing is bound to be worn out. YOu're better off finding a newer Garrett GT-25 off an Gen 2 DSM. Those are pretty easy to find, and are good for up to 14psi.
