Exactly. From installation, to selecting the right turbo and components, to building a motor up to handle the boost, to tuning, it is all a lot of knowledge to take in. Just read until you are blue in the face.

yea i was reading this one thread on another site from the link Das sent me and theres a bunch of guys going back and forth about what size turbo is better. some of the things i had no idea what they meant but i got the jist of it. one question though, what engine parts are needed to be installed before puting in a turbo to handle the boost?

i dont want to blow my engine by making a mistake with too much boost or not tuning it right. would it be safe or worth it to turbo the stock engine or should i go first with bigger pistons & rods, new head gasket etc.??

well if you dont plan to run more than 10-12psi you wont need to rebuild it. just make sure your fuel system is up to par and get a good tune. now if you're like most people and boost it and want more then you can look into a rebuild.

my suggestion to you is to do reasearch on both u haven't done any real research from your posts, and going and askin us isn't helping you...
Snoopy; psi number dosen't mean anything cause a smaller turbo at 12 psi will not really even push the motor as say a bigger turbo at 12 psi its all about CFM's
Fira: my car is stock and i boost around 11 to 12 psi, and my car runs great, so like i said read up my good friend so YOU can make the best decision
