Before you decide to turbo or build the engine for turbo, you really need to decide what kit or what parts you plan to use. Save up your money, and while you are doing that take time to learn how a turbo and components work, and you'll be much better off when it comes time to build.
Oh yeah...I know I have more to learn...thats why I am asking. Its gonna be a little bit before I get the turbo and will learn a lot more between now and then but just want to get a head up on what I am going to need and the price range. I know what you are talking about how the sizes differences. How one might take longer to spool up then another but the top end speed from the bigger turbo would be greated then a smaller one. I knew all that. I was just wondering what the different categories are.
What else would I need to get besides the kit though. I am going to want to run a great amount of PSI in the long run (probabaly more then 12)and just want to know what I am going to need for that. I know I will need to build up the engine for that and thats what I am asking about.

Know any place/site in particular to get those?
