research research research

is your best friend, and dont half ass it or cheap out, do it right from the beginning.

turbo cars specially a custom kit requires more attention, and you need to know your car, how it feels, runs, drives, how it sounds.

if not done properly things can go to the crapper quickly

let me just say im doing the same thing and if i could start over i would just buy a kit. piecing together a turbo has become a complete nightmare and is taking alot longer than expected. im too far along to turn back so onward i go. Good luck to you!
