Noob Turbo Question
So I've been researching turbo's becuase i would like to eventually have a turbo z6 that comes close to maybe 300 hp?
I don't know. I just know i would like to run atleast 14's
Anyway, There is information everywhere on how turbo's work, how the set up works, and where to get parts. But my problem is piecing it together. The only thing i could do right now, is just grab the parts, put it together, and hope for the best. But I would rather not just buy a bunch of stuff to not reach my goal.
so on the to main question, how does one figure out what turbo parts EXACTLY he needs to achieve his goal? thanks

Don't spend any money until you've logged in 50 hours (obviously not all at once) of solid research and searching. You'll be a lot happier if you buy once and buy right. 300hp is really stretching it for a 14b if you want it to last, so a good t3/t4 or even 16g should suit your needs and allow you room to grow. Don't 1/2 *** on your engine management or fuel system at the bare minimum. If you can afford it, don't half *** anything. While used or knock-off parts are cheap; they usually are about dead, so buy new if possible. Don't buy any major components off Ebay if you want them to fit well, be reliable, and make optimum power. Don't try and rush a turbo set-up because it'll come back to haunt you. Take the time to gather everything up and then install. Good luck.

Plug and play, stupid.
Better learn on how to read a compressor map while your at it. And I know for a fact theres a thread about reading them, because I posted questions about it ~month ago.
