Well what most of us do here is piece together turbo kits. Look through our turbo projects pages and at the end is a parts list. It will give you an idea of things you will need. Also read the FAQ.

Since you have a B-series engine, it will be a bit more complex, since you will need a bit bigger turbo than most, a custom manifold and a good fuel management system to control your setup.

Just keep reading through the site, and if you have a "Specific" question go ahead and ask.

oh my god those things are ----, dont let this forum turn rice, they dont make hp they take hp.

i guess the turbo would be a waste of time if you want you car to go slower, but if you want it faster than hell ya its worth it.
