My best advice is to use that little red <U><FONT COLOR="red">Search</FONT></U> button in the upper right hand corner of your screen.
The second best advice is to save more money. if you think you have enough for your build..... TRIPLE IT!
good luck. turbos can be your best friend, or worst enemy.

TRUE...well actually TUNING can be your best friend or worst enemy

You don't have to "build" your motor just to turbo it. What kind of power do you want to make? If it's something "mild" then you can simply turbo the healthy motor, tune and be done for th emost part. Like stated earlier, if you think you have just the right amount of $$ to do it, then you may want to save up a bit more for the unexpected"little" things.

If you want an EF specific bolt on turbo kit, shoot me a PM.

Don't waste your $$ sleeving the D, it is un needed for a good setup. Many make great power on stock sleeves.

X2 agreed.

Spend money on the turbo set-up. There are several examples in the forced induction forum who make over 250 whp with zero problems on stock sleeves. I would search there first for similar builds.
