well you need to do a little more research. you really cant just "slap on" a turbo. a turbo kit will give you the biggest bang for your buck but i would make sure your engine is ready for it. Make sure the exhaust you have is around 2.5-3" and i would strongly reccomend building your internals. rods,pistons,etc. once you've built your internals then you'll be ready for turbo and be able to push over 8 psi because your internals wont be stock.

Yea man, I did the slap on the turbo things, and now im rebuilding because of it. I studied up on tunning for a turbo, definatley build your motor and other applications, such as mounts, clutch tranny build... cooling system... etc etc. Just slappin a turbo on isnt the way to go.

Unless you wanna do this...

yeah man i would go internal first because if u dont u will only be able to run 5-7 psi on the stock cams,rods,and,pistons.but after words when u go for a turbo make sure u find a good turbo that will give u the max hp gain.
