Default Newbie to HMT

Hey sup guys

I'm new to this site, a friend of mines told me about this site. So I decided to stop by and check it out. I've talked to a couple of guys on AIM Chat and they were very helpful. I been wanting to turbo my car but don't have enough knowledge to know what to do. But I hope to learn a thing or two here at this site. Hopefully learn alot more. I'm located in so cali. So I hope to be able to meet up some of the members that are local so I could check out their ride.

Here some pix of my car



Here a link for more pix if you want to check out what mods I have http://www.cardomain.com/id/i20solara02i

my future plans:
to be able to get at least 250-300 whp
maybe fuel upgrade and tuning.
the motor is a 2.4L 2az-fe
compression is 9.6:1
base hp: 157 and tq 160

HMT is more go than show but everything is welcome. Turbocharging a car isn't that complicated and its actually pretty simple if you know what your doing so read up and turbo that bitch. Also, you forgot the most important pics, the engine shots

Ya I kinda figure that this forum was more go than show. But I want at least some power to back it up. All show no go sucks ***.
