Default so i had this idea for a common resource with turbos

you guys ever notice that 90% of the screw ups in boost related builds are due to a flaw that the experienced would always catch and even a trained novice would pick up?

so did i

that led to this nifty idea. i went and bought turboinstall.net and setup a frame a few days ago with the idea being in the next year or two getting enough people and information to make it a REALLY useful encyclopedia type site.

i'm finishing my build this year and listing it start to finish, doing a clutch install article and will publish a page of anyone who wants to contribute. that means if you have a bunch of pics and can create a good walk through of your setup and what you used, i'll index it and create you you're very own page. the only article i've published so far is how to test a tps sensor which is here

http://www.turboinstall.net/general-...ur-tps-sensor/

anyway, if you want to contribute i figure it could be an easy resource page where people can go and look over builds start to finish and read about potential problems and performance.

also installing a resource page with an injector size calc, turbo calc and any other useful tool i can think of.

and sooner or later i'll even create a decent looking page header

open to ideas and comments, just seems like we've been needing something like this for awhile.

I am doing a very detailed build and taking plenty of photos. Hell the motor aint even in yet and front end aint on and I already have 150+ photos. Once I am done I can submit it or if interested I can submit all the info I have as of now and keep you updated. I can also write some decent How To's if you would like just let me know what your looking for. I wrote a DSM AWD conversion How To for one of my English Comp classes last semester.

absolutely interested, you provide the information and i'll build permanent pages out of it on the site as well as make sure all the credit for the work goes to you.

email for this is racebum1@yahoo.com

pics, text, whole deal can be setup however you like.
