If I remember correctly, you're in the Grand Rapids area right? If you want, I can also lend a hand with the install, as I got a lot of first hand experience doing mine. And I'm cheap, I work for beer

Your best bet is to do some searching around here.

What are your power goals? Is this going to be a daily driver? Track car? Drag Car? elaborate

 

if you are in Grand Rapids im definately going to be there too. you should search and know how a turbo works before installing one. my install is coming up in a month and im getting pretty antsy, ive spent numerous hours researching and i have tony who has done an install before. let us know if you need any help with a parts list or what not.

 

Well im in greenville (30-45 min from grand rapids). not sure on what im looking to gain in power, just obviously want to be fast lol. alot of my friends are doing turbos this winter. so ive gotta keep up with them (example..friend with the talon will be pushing 1000hp) the car will be a daily driver. but nothing to far maybe 20 miles a day if that. I will occasionaly take it far away for car shows. bu nothing to extreme. im not looking to go to crazy, but i want to be able to have the power when i need it. forty and airman where abouts are you, im probably wont have the car out to much this year except for getting my windows and exhuast done. but definetly next sping she will be out

 

im in angola, indiana about 2 hours from grand rapids

 

I'm in Grand Rapids, Tyler is from Coldwater, but goes to school in indiana

With a b18 I'm sure you could do about 250-280whp reliably, does that sound suffecient?

 

OMG! lol if i could get that id be happy..I'm looking around at different turbo kits but cant seem to find many, think you could point me in the right dirrection of which one to go with.

 

**** kits dude, piecing your own together FTW!! Check out Pete's Turbo Grocery List, run a search or two here on the fourm, and after you've done a bit of research if you still have some questions, let us know

You have AIM?

 

Yea I knew someone would say build you own, but I was just lookin around...nope dont have AIM but i have yahoo mess.

 

piece your own kit together

you will learn a lot about what parts you need and what parts do what. it will be better for you and you will come out with a better kit than if you bought one.
