Need Help With Turbo

I'm having a really hard time on deciding what turbo kit would be best for me. Can someone please help me? I'm looking for the largest turbo that will fit into my FC and that will spool with relative ease. What brand should I look for? What all will I need aside from the manifold, downpipe, intercooler, and the turbo itself?

Thanks a whole lot,
Rabbit

Hey i just read your other post, so currently you're n/a correct?

If you want to do a turbo swap so a search. it'll save a lot of questions on your part and on ours. look at aaron cake's homepage if you want to turbo your n/a. for most people this is generally a little too much work and doing a turboII engine and tranny into your current ride will be much simpler to do and much less headache. Also just check out the sticky at the top of the page. FAQ for fc's. that has the info you're looking for.

Peace,
Matt

It's definetly a fun project worth doing if you ever get the resources to do so. But if you're running an n/a get a s'afc and you can fine tune your injectors a wee bit to get a little more power and a little better gas mileage. I got one and will hopefully be installing it tonight. My S'afc should pay for itself by the end of the year in gas economy alone if i tune her right.
