    Shouldn't be too long.. Going Turbo!

    I have been researching and researching and researching trying to find any information and all information I can find on turbos and set ups and well everything! Read through Turbo 101/102/103 and I've got a pretty good understanding of it all. If someone could double check my work (link below) I would greatly appreciate it. Below is an outline I created to go along with my research. It starts with reasons/use for a turbo and then lists parts (in no particular order) that I have put together with estimated prices! If someone could (maybe you know some points I need to know) put some input out here and review the list of parts I have created and maybe update my pricing and suggest parts I need to add with pricing (preferably). Some parts aren't "needed" but maintenance is required so I figured a few of the parts would just be good to go ahead and replace.



    Turbo Decisions

    a. Daily Driver

    a. Horsepower: 230-280
    b. Torque: 220-280
    3. How do I want the turbo to react?
    a. Spool Range (3500rpm to 7500rpm[redline]) (Just an off the top of the head range)
