Have you ever dealt with turbo before? Do you know what your doing? Do you know how turbo works? Do you know how to tune?

If you answered no to any of those and still want a turbo then go to a shop and have pop out your check book and just let a shop do everything.

Are you going to put toghether your turbo kit or buy a whole kit. Greddy, rev-hard, and drag all make turbo kits for your custom application so you don't have to do any guess work. However a t3/t4 turbo is a very popular turbo for our small engines and there are very many sizes of that turbo depending on your application such as housing size.

sorry had to bail, boss walked in. Anyway for street your going to want a smaller turbo to avoid turbo lag but for 1/4 drag you'll want the extra h.p. from a larger turbo. If your engine is bone stock the guys in the F.I. forum should be able to give you the exact specs you need for your specification.

Yes you can put a b16 head on a b18. I thought you said you owned a shop? Also you just have to wait it out, to become a full member.

I dunno why you cant, thats really weird,. and for the other guy who wants to know when he'll stop being a trial user.. it tells you everything when youre registering.. Youll be a normal user on the 16th day of membership, IF you dont get any user points taken away, so go read the rules
