I searched but came back with zip-so heres the deal. I got a few turbos off other cars and I was thinking of using them. I can also make my own manifolds, so this is pretty cheap for me. I was wondering if anyone knows much about doing this, or if you can point me to a good tutorial or forum site about turbo systems.

So your looking for info on how to make your own manifold? Sorry your question wasnt exactly specific and worded properly.

I think he's looking for info on how a turbo system works and what parts and configurations are needed/recommended.

yeah, maybe the parameters governing the design of the manifold. I'm a steel fabricator so i know one part. I wanted to find out if anyone has made their own turbo system or if everybody just gets the out-of-the-box stuff.

aight, for anyone who wants to know this I found all the info i could possibly need at www.sdsefi.com . Most all of the info is in the faq section-how to make intake manifold, turbo header, intercooler, fuel rail, etc... and a crapload of other stuff. they also sell one of the most unique eng. management sys. ive ever seen.
