So i haven't done alot of research but i'd liek to turbo my d16y8, any advice on set ups? Brands or should i make my own set up?

Get a basic T3/to4b series...GO on ebay, their eveywhere for d16s. try sticking wit trubonetics, garette, and greddy. their the best on turbos, the spool quick, and give you the run.

turbo selection needs to be based on enigne airflow, cam, how much boost you are planning to run, engine rpm. You can't just ask what turbo to suggest. People wonder why turbos get such a bad rep. People just throw a turbo on and think that it is all good to go.

Im not doggin you man, just please do some research before even thinking about a turbo system.

i agree w/ everything hypsi87 said except dont base your decision on how much boost youre expecting...when going for a turbo goal you should base it on 2 things...your budget and a target hp..dont base on a certain psi b/c the turbo determines the power produced at certain psi's...a t3/t4 will produce more power at 10psi than a t25 will at 10 psi..a smaller turbo will produce less air flow therefore less power. Like hypsi87 said do some research...dont turbo until you know how it works and what you expect to acheive

Hypsi87

You need to know what PSI vs. airflow range you you will be running to select the proper turbo. Yea a larger turbo will produce more power at 10 psi than a smaller turbo but, look at the compressor maps. A big turbo at 10 PSI on an engine, that can't support the ammount of flow that the bigger turbo was made for, will be on the verge of compressor surge. Where as the proper size turbocharger will be flowing the correct ammount of air at 10 PSI. Look at the compressor maps. It will show you.

oh i agree hypsi all im sayin is budget and hp are your too main goals while acheiving a good FI system...there really is no reason to get a turbo bigger than a t3/t4 setup a t25 wuld be ok as well as long as it is setup right...proper bov, size of tubing, intercooler, etc etc. but at any rate i agree that the most important thing is air flow
