You sure don't know much about turboing your car..
To turbo your car, at the very least you need the following:
Turbocharger: Pick which size and trim turbo is gonna work best for your application and goals
--> Exhaust Manifold: Either log/cast/equal length. Make sure it was made for your turbo (t3, 4bolt, 5bolt, dsm, etc.)
--> Downpipe: Again must be custom for your turbo/manifold choice. A flex pipe and o2 bung are nice to have while creating a downpipe
--> Wastegate: Choose a wastegate size (also what psi spring you'd like to run) according to application such as amount of air flow and psi from turbo
--> Intercooler: Choose either a FMIC (Front Mount InterCooler) or Side Mount Intercooler. Fmic is more bling bling :D as well as better cooling
--> Blow off valve: This is acutally an opional (but very recommended part). Doesnt really matter which one you choose. Pick a sound you like
--> Fuel Manegment: One of the most important parts on your turbocharged car. I would highly suggest running a programable chiped ecu or standalone device, but running a AFC hack controller can be used as well
--> Fuel Pump : You will probably need an upgraded fuel pump to support the added fuel consumption. Can be either internal or external
--> Injectors : To support added air induction, more fuel is need... hence bigger injectors. Buy size according to application
--> Map Sensor: Stock maps can only read up to ~10.63 psi, if you plan to go higher upgrade to a 2bar or 3bar map sensor
--> Intercooler Piping: You can buy a ic piping kit, but usally will always take some modification to fit your exact application
--> Couplers/t-bolts: You will need silicone couplers to bind the two ic pipes together as well as t-bolts (or screw clamps which i dont recommend) to tighten those couplers down
--> Oil drain/feed lines: Every turbo needs oil, so you must buy an oil feed and drain line kit. ss lines are recommend

is there a site to get turbo info and what not? i always hear people talking about t-series turbos, like t3/t4, t3, t28 etc.
ive never looked into forced induction but have an idea how it works, i just dont know anything about sizes, trims, what size injectors to run, and the more complicated things like ecu modding.

Absolutely not. I wouldn't even consider it on a daily driver.
On a side note, take this to FI.

Your motor isn't going to last a year.

You have no idea what you're in for. Please document the progress of your turbo project. Please.
Why don't you do something a little lower maintenance like an H or F2B. Way better platform and a little more "user friendly." You could do an H swap and have 200hp stock or boost your bone stock B and make 225-250hp. If you're properly tuned. Which I'm not so sure will happen. Save $800 more dollars, buy an F20 long block and an F/H2B kit.
