Default For you turbo junkies...i've got a few Q's

I've got a 95 GS-R with 140k on the clock. I'm really wanting to slap a turbo on the teg but don't want it to go BOOM !! I'm not looking for anything over 300hp at the wheels. To me that's plenty quick! realistic i'm looking more towards 250 - 280hp at the wheels. It's a daily driver so I don't need anything crazy....just a crazy daily driver

What would you guys recommend so that I don't end up in a world of hurt?

Thanks guys!

A lot of research and a custom kit.
Do a lot of searching for your questions, if you still have questions post them up. Your goals are easily attainable with the right set-up. you have so many options it would take all day to list them all.

-Check the engine to make sure it is in good condition before turbo.

-You can't just slap a turbo on. It is a big project that requires a lot of money and knowledge. Do some research before you commit to anything.

-Don't go cheap on the essentials. (mainly fuel managment and tuning)

-Be prepared to spend over $4k after everything is said and done.
