Pipe dream. Why do I say it's a pipe dream? Because when it comes to boost you can't come to a forum, ask someone "what do I need to do", and think that's it. You have to do research. LOT'S of it. Read everything you can on how to do it properly. The information is already out there. The ONLY question you should be asking about turbocharging a car is if your parts list is straight.

Otherwise you end up just like most of these kids that run out and buy an Ebay kit, slap it on, and blow up their engine.

Again, pipe dream.

No need for two threads.
