Default boosting ls

wassup guys, in the near future i plan on boosting my b18b. As of now i do not know enough to maintain/fix a turbo car. I was wondering besides using the search button, which i use every so often when i have time, if there is a book or a site in which can explain each turbo component and how to maintain it in good working condition.

I'm sorry for the noobish question, i was just hoping somebody could point me in the right direction. I was thinking about just slapping a kit on, like maxrev or revhard kit. Any more insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, John

a turbo'd car is cared for the same exact way any other car is cared for. except you just have to change plugs, rotors, OIL, caps, etc more often....depending on how you drive.
