Like hypsi87 said do some research...dont turbo until you know how it works and what you expect to acheive
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.
