Welcome to the forum!

Don't buy that ----! Do a search for ssautocrap or ssautochrome, his products are ----. Check our classifieds section for something more suitable.

Do some reasearch on what people have done with a similar setup, post some more info about your goals and knowledge.. I'll be back in a couple hours and help you out more.. hopefully I will be drunk.

I would recommend that U have someone w/experience do a compression test on all cylinders 1st. W/that much mileage, U may have some wear.

Do what Im doing, peice everything together over a longer period of time, and make it all worth it in the end. If the car is your daily driver and you wanna rip the ---- out of it (which you will) find another temp motor just to have in case you blow yours. --or get another motor to build
You can find some really good deals on the classifides section and sometimes a complete turbo set-up for like 400 bucks, and you would have to get a few smaller things. Look around, and check everything out first. Read what other people have done/completed/blew up and why. do it right man.

about SSAUTOCHROME....lots of people have had bad experiences with his products. My theory, you pay for what you get.

check out this....
