Re: ok guys...dont jump the new guy (rafimos)
best site is this one IMO. if you have time and patience, spend a few months reading every post you can, especially a lot of older archived posts (do a search for various topics in the archives, you'll be amazed at what you can find)
good luck

If you are looking at getting good technical assistance youve choosen the right board. This has to the best web site on the internet for help. There is alot of information on this website, all you need to do is use the search feature really. If you would like info on turbochargers and would like to "do it right the first time" I would highly recommend investing in the book Maximum Boost by Corkey Bell. If you take time to read that book you will be all knowing (kind of) when it comes to turbos. Evan

Awesome mashed together sentences. Makes my eyes hurt so I can't read it and won't be able to offer any advice.

I can tell you one turbo to stay away from. Those electric ones you see on e-bay.
Seriously, like the other guys said, just read here and you will learn everything you need to know. Including what turbo would be fitting for your setup. Actually there was a post in this forum about a week ago about that subject.
