Reading Maximum Boost is a good Idea for anyone trying to go turbo. That book covers a lot of things and the principles behind boosting.

HEAR HEAR! you know jerry is getting sick of seeing "pm pimpintacoma" in just about every post. not to say that it's not a compliment or a good idea to talk to him, i'm just sure he's tired.

all u need is turbo with internal wastegate, manifold, oil lines, then take it to a place that will make u the down pipe, pipe going from turbo to intake manifold and going from turbo to the intake "cone filter" fuel upgrades, how many psi do u want to run? i say all u need is a FMU, and colder plugs for kicks and giggles......
