greddys kit is made to run on stock internals, just dont take it past like 6psi, now, if you want to up the boost, consider some engine building

RE: -=Turbo Help
 

what type of engine building? its money i have :)

RE: -=Turbo Help
 

forged pistons and some h rods is what you you would have to do.

FMIC would be a good idea.

+1 And new engine management, injectors, a good tune, etc.. Do some research man, sounds to me like you are far from ready to install a turbo.

I hate to discourage anyone from tackling a project like this, but if you don't know the ins and outs, you'll end up paying for it BIG TIME in the long run. I studied my ass off for 6 months before my install. It's been over two months, and I'm still not fully up and running. Don't rush it, do the install when you're good and ready

agreed with above you cannot rush this type of modification. Id reccommend scouring the forums for turbo related speak and get educated.
