oh noes!

I say build the setup first, then worry about injectors and all that snazzy stuff after you get it running with a turbo on it. You can run ~5lbs of boost on the stock motor with with out any real issues (VG that is, and thats what I've learned from alittle research).

oh, and you'll probably get really alot of pic requests because with out them your just another newbie wanting to turbo a 14 year old car, and now pics of just parts arent enough (hence why I said get the fabrication done). oh, put a cooler on that tranny.

wow very gutsy new guy.

let me ask you..
- what size turbo are you running?
- wet or dry center section?
- what A/R and compressor?
- what size fuel injector?
- what fuel pump?
- what are you going to do w/ the coolant hoses/pipes that will hit the xpipe?
- what are you going to do w/ the maze of vacume and coolant hoses that perfectly hits the xpipe?
- what fuel management set up are you going to run?
- oil lines for the turbo..how are you going to plumb that in?
- where on the oil pan are you going to tap the return oil line?
- internal or external wastegate?

that should keep you busy. let me know when you have it figured it out.
