Default questions about turbos...

damn and I was just about to flizzzame. Yeah man do a search. You can get 20 psi w/o a port and polish. Just start simple with a junkyard turbo. If you get a kit, make sure you have room to uprade later. But start off small if you're new to turbo. You'll be happy if you do it right. But if you know you're gonna boost 12-15, I'd suggest investing in some forged robs and pistons before you ever put your 1st lb of boost though your motor. That way, if you get a kit and you have it up to say, 9psi like me. You can up it to 12-15 cause you already have a solid block. Make sure you tuned the hell out of it at that high of boost.
