Peicing Together A Turbo Kit

Piecing Together A Turbo Kit
I have a LS Hatch. I'm not a complete newbie but I'm not the most informative person about cars yet either. I'm gettin there though. In the next couple months.. (hopefully.. just depending on what breaks between now and then) I want to start piecing together a turbo...
I know it's cheaper.
Also heard its better than a turbo kit.
What exactly... do people mean by piecing together a turbo ??
How do you know.. what will work with what, etc.

to be honest dude, if you need to ask this question, you shouldn't be considering putting a kit together.
look in classifieds for complete setups.

that is a good idea. Look for an install for turbo kit install. It will give you a basis on what parts are needed. Look up those parts and see what are the benefits etc.

Don't scare him away from the begining lol. That is one hell of a serious book if you don't know anything about boost/motors at all first.

true, but let me tell you, I would've made some mad powerful cars with my first two setups had I been equipped with that knowledge instead of hearsay, lol.

ROFL +1 haha.
I too suggest getting a kit from the classifieds. you can still learn a ton through this but it'll save a lot of heartache trying to match up parts and get things fabricated. I've done the "build your own kit and fab up piping" thing a few times. It's still just a PITA.

Engine & Driveline handbook that's put out by the guys from Sport Compact Car is a good place to start before you step up to Maximum Boost. Maximum Boost is also older than dirt and contains a good amount of incorrect/outdated information.
Like everyone else said, once you know how a turbo system works, the parts you need will be obvious. The book I recommened is good because it takes you through each part step by step and explains its purpose and then it goes into more depth when you're ready for it.
to a girl working on her own car too. (I'll second the pics request lol)

Re: (Hotredux)
I would say maybe some info is outdated in maximum boost, but the technical info isn't incorrect.
I have a more modern book called "turbochargers" at home, have to look up and see who the author is.
"Honda Tuning" by Mike Kojima is pretty decent.

Anything Mike Kojima writes is great.

Man U FTW
If you're looking at piecing together a turbo setup, you should first familiarize yourself with the parts you'll need. Secondly, you should decide on your power goal, your budget, and what you plan to use the car for. All of those factors will help us steer you in the right direction.
I've built 5 of my own setups now. On my first one, it took me a little time to figure out exactly what i needed, but after the first time, you'll know everything by heart. If you have any questions, PM me.
