Make sure you have big injectors and a great tuner.

Tune, tune, tune.....Oil pressure, Oil pressure, Oil pressure.....No Ebay ****. Do not cheap out on important items. And make yourself a REALISTIC power goal. If you don't have a goal then you don't know what to buy.

Go to the forced induction forum and read, read, and read some more through all boosted B18C builds, numbers, and setups threads. Then reread what you read until you've read it all at least 3 times. Then read it again. Basically, transform those threads into your new **** habit.

Check out those FAQs in the top portion of the Forced Induction forum, especially on how exactly a turbocharger works.
