O.k. I know nothing about turbo's! I researched it a little but didn't understand what I was reading lol. I want to build and turbo my b18a1 but am not really sure what all turbo parts I need to buy and sizes and brands and stuff like that. So I'm asking for help. I know it's better to build a kit from scratch then buy a complete kit so thats what I want to do just don't know what parts to get. Please help!

-turbo
-exhaust manifold
-oil feed and return lines
-intercooler
-intercooler piping
-blow off valve
-wastegate
-fuel injectors
-chipped ecu
im probably forgetting something but thats all i can think of right now... also about how much power do you want to make

a t3/t4 turbo is a hybrid turbo. It has a t3 turbine housing and turbine wheel and a t4 compressor housing and wheel.

a t3/t4 50 trim will make the power you want, and a 35mm wastegate will work fine also. I would go with 550cc fuel injectors too.

When I first started I had no knowledge about turbos either, but I was too afraid to just come on and ask.

So what I did was research research research.

doing research can't be said enough. also keep in mind your money needs to be spent in the right places. if you are looking for a every day driver than reliability is what u need to shoot for i.e. sleeving the block forged pistons and rods, arp bolts, upgraded valves,springs,oil pump so on and so on. I think for the money and reliability you should go with a supercharger, they dont get the big power #'s but it is a bolt on kit with everything u need and dont have to do internal mods. you are also at full boost when you hit the gas! and if its not fast enough then u can get a high boost kit. good luck
