Good place to learn about aftermarket turbos/basics?

Did a quick search and didn't find quite what I was looking for.

Is there a good place for information about turbo's, like how the different peices affect performance, and how to choose a good aftermarket turbo etc.

New to the whole "turbo" thing, so was wondering if there was a good bible out there for it

Your best bet is just to look up the individual turbos and see their most common uses. It all depends on how you plan to use the car. For instance if you're not looking for gobs of power and want similar spool to stock people often go with the Apexi kit. For street driving with more power than that but still with good spool people will say to4e or s, gt35/40, t78, or now A-spec's new gt40r. This also depends on what porting you have done if any. As for drag racing people tend to lean towards the t51r kai or the t88. Just search for how you want to use it I'm sure you'll find something.
