no where since you don't know what you're doing. even a small turbo can kill an engine.

research is key here. once you pick a turbo, you can buy them at a number of places


do your homework, and remember.. google is your friend.

Poeple like this should be instantly banned. Ugghhhh....SEARCH!! You obviously don't know what you are doing and need to research as PJ said. This forum is getting littered with stupid threads like this.

The turbo itself will not blow your engine. Not enough fuel to go with the extra air the turbo is forcing in will. This is why it is so important that you do some research to figure out what you are going to do to provide extra fuel.

Well, if you go on eBay, buy any turbo and just put it in your backseat I promise it will never blow your engine. You just might get that sense of accomplishment while your at it.

go read a book. the turbo you buy doesn't determine how much boost you run.

There is a book by Corky Bell I beleive. I do not know the name of it but there is a ton of good info in it from what I have heard. If someone can help him out with the name of it that would be awsome.

the book is called maximum boost.

if you've ever read it, it deals with a lot of things that even some of the most advanced tuners here don't think of. its a book that goes a bit beyond the scope of whats necessary, and definitely above the head of a newb like the OP.

I wouldn't suggest this book until after you have a decent understanding of forced induction.

So, your a newb and your gona try to tell knowledgeable people what is possible and what isnt? I bet you think a supercharger bolts to the exhaust side of your head.

I do...Exhaust manifold to be more precise. You may call it by another name but it is still a supercharger.

What?I dont realy understand what you are trying to say, or are you joking? Superchargers are blet driven, turbochargers are not which Im sure you know.

the full name of a turbo is a turbo supercharger. usually just called turbos, or turbochargers for short.


any kind of forced induction is called supercharging.

^But hardly ANYONE uses the term "supercharger" for turbochargers. These noobs are hilarious, it's almost like Bill and the spare tire all over again.

right. but in pissing contests, semantics are your best weapon =P

but some people have learned a bit of new terminology, and others feel a bit better about themselves, and in general nothing here is accomplished.
