Darin has a lot of good info on his site.

Jeff Mosk has a lot of great info: http://www.well.com/user/mosk/

Here's a forum for the 22RTE turbo trucks: http://www.22rte-trucks.com/simplemachinesforum/

Turbo's were available from the factory on 86/87 trucks, so you can use a lot of Toyota parts to get the job done (all if you really want, but I'd highly suggest something other then the CT20 turbo). I'm not sure if there is any single website you can buy all the parts as a kit, but you should be able to get a lot of them from the dealership.

Darin, Jeff and myself's motors are all heavily modified though...

If I were you I'd look for a used 22rte motor (factory turbo charged 22re) and swap it, the ECU and fuel pump. Hang a new exhaust on it and drive it. It would be a lot cheaper and eaiser then buying all the parts. It'll be an easy swap because its the same motor.

Good luck!
