1. Engine Components:
* Turbocharger Kit (or individual components): This is the core. You'll either buy a pre-assembled kit specifically designed for a similar engine (if one exists – it's unlikely for the Breeze's relatively low-power engines), or source individual components: the turbo itself, manifold (exhaust and intake), intercooler, piping, oil and coolant lines, wastegate, blow-off valve. Finding compatible parts for the Breeze's specific engine will be the biggest challenge.
* Fuel System Upgrades: The stock fuel system won't be able to supply the increased fuel demand of a turbocharged engine. You'll likely need:
* Larger fuel injectors: To deliver more fuel.
* Fuel pump: A higher-flow fuel pump to keep up with injector demand.
* Fuel pressure regulator: To manage fuel pressure accurately under boost.
* Engine Management System (EMS) Tuning: The stock computer won't know how to handle the extra air and fuel. You'll need:
* Standalone ECU (Engine Control Unit): A standalone ECU allows for custom tuning, essential for a turbo setup. This is often the most complex part.
* Wideband Air/Fuel Ratio (AFR) gauge: To monitor the air/fuel mixture and ensure it's within safe parameters to prevent engine damage.
* Exhaust System: A free-flowing exhaust system (downpipe, cat-back) is crucial to help the turbocharger expel exhaust gases efficiently. The stock exhaust will likely restrict performance.
* Strengthened Engine Internals (Potentially): Depending on the boost level, you may need to reinforce engine components to handle the increased stress, such as connecting rods, pistons, and head studs. This depends heavily on your boost target.
* Oil Cooler: A turbocharger generates significant heat, so an oil cooler helps keep engine oil temperatures in check.
2. Supporting Components:
* Gauges: Essential for monitoring boost pressure, oil pressure, exhaust gas temperature (EGT), and AFR.
* Intercooler Piping and Clamps: To connect the intercooler to the turbo and intake manifold.
* Boost Controller (Possibly): To regulate the amount of boost pressure.
* Clutch Upgrade (Possibly): The stock clutch might not be able to handle the increased torque.
3. Installation Expertise and Tools:
* Mechanical Skills: Significant mechanical aptitude and experience working on engines is absolutely essential.
* Specialized Tools: You'll need various wrenches, sockets, and specialized tools for working on a turbocharger system.
* Welding (Possibly): May be needed for custom fabrication of exhaust and piping.
In short: This isn't a project for beginners. It's a complex and expensive undertaking that requires significant mechanical skills, specialized tools, and potentially custom fabrication. The availability of readily-made kits for a Plymouth Breeze is extremely doubtful. Consider the cost and complexity carefully before attempting this. You're likely better off finding a different car more suitable for turbocharging if this is your goal.
