Make This an Sticky

How to start ?

READ A LOT OF INFO ABOUT TURBOS AND TURBOCHARGING

Next, Set Your Goals ( in my case 200-220 whp @ no more than 10psi)

By that u will select the correct turbo and fuel management

Hard Parts, Simple Still Safe???

Turbo
Turbo Manifold
Oil/Water lines
Intercooler + All it needs (piping, clamps and couplers)
External WasteGate (if the turbo doesnt have one internally)
BOV
Bigger injectors (sized for you hp goals)
Fuel Pump (sized for hp goals)
and Misc. things

if something is missing please guys add it
Stand Alone ECU or Piggyback

what size of engine, power plans and budge you got??

try to understand that a turbo project got lots and lots of variables and most if not all of them depends on your preferences, budget as well as the car you are working on.

i you may not know alot about turbos and you are seeking info but you got to familiarize yourself a bit more with turbos as well as the woos and you will find answers to 80% of your answers... the remaning 20% will be more like other people's experiance with some aspects on the project that you can't just aquire over night so this is where you go to get help.

i once thought that turbos are horrable devices that are a PITA and the blow engines... now i know better and personally thinking of a project of my own... if i were you i'd read all the topics and posts in this section then put a plan for my car and ask the guys what they think about it rather than asking them to make you a plan.

1.6 dohc, 180hp, no budge but if I did $3000.

Turbo a T3 .42cold .48hot (+ or - 180hp @ 14.7psi)

Turbo manifold ... Log if in a budget, with $3000 get a custom made turbo header

450cc injectors would be fine

Fuel pump, you can max the OEM bump or upgrade to a 255lph

Intercooler for 180hp ... a 28x6x2.5 is Ok
