I was thinking about the peakboost or fullrace turbo set up's but i dont know what engine to do it on? also the internals and cams what should i have? should i polish the head....overall im asking how to protect a turbo engine so it can be a daily driver and what is the best engine to turbo and reach those numbers that i want which is 250 or 300 whp???????
thanks for any who helps, everyones comments will be appreciated!!!
So you don't know much about the engines, which engine to use, what parts to use, or how to protect it. Instead of reading what a few people say, do your self a HUGE favor and learn everything on your own. Research everything. And unless you're willing to learn, don't even bother working on your car. Once you turbo your car, 1/2 the garages around won't even think twice about servicing it. Be prepared to scratch your head a lot trying to figure out what's wrong, then spending time working on it yourself.
Trust me it will be WELL worth it.
