Do's: DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Learn about turbo systems. How they work, why they work, what parts make up a "kit," etc etc etc... I'm planning on boosting my ride in a few weeks, and I have done nothing but read read read for the past 7 - 8 months. In my opinion, you need to know as much as you possibly can about turbos, before you can rightly consider installing one.

DO lots of research here at HCF to see what setup is "recommended" for your application

Don'ts: Don't buy SS Autochrome, XSPower, or any other e-bay crap-pile. And of course, DONT be afraid to ask questions.


Good luck, STUDY HARD!

Making more than 1 thread isnt going to get more results. Run a search by using the SEARCH button and youll learn LOTS about turbos. Or you can PM me and I'll be more than happy to help. Best of luck. ~Pete
