Default A few turbocharging questions

Planning on turbocharging a B18C:

1. I'm going to use sleeves (84mm or so), but do these just drop in or do i have to do some work to get them in?

2. What type of camshafts are best for a turbocharged engine? (I heard that hi-rise or long-duration are bad choices)

3. Is higher compression or lower compression better for turbocharged applications?

4. Would a larger throttle body be a good idea? Also, porting, polishing ($!!), etc..

Is the search funtion still not up

1) No you can't install sleeves yourself. You have to have a good machine shop install them.
2) Correct. GSR camshafts seems to be everyone's first choice.
3) Higher compression = faster spool, less room for error when tuning and higher power numbers at low boost. Lower compression = slower spool, more room for error when tuning and more boost.
4) You could put your money in better places (tuning)
