i gotta get a new turbo but i don't know what to get. now, since this is my first gn i don't know too much so i was wondering, what turbo can i put on a stock engine? and, do i have to get a new torque converter to match it or can i leave it stock. i'm wondering how big to go, what to look for in a GN turbo, if i go big do i have to get a three inch downpipe? will it come with the elbo or is that a separate part to aquire? where is a good place to get a turbo in the orlando area that won't charge me up the keester? (i'm in college and building my car from an hourly wage job so...)
if i get a large turbo, and end up getting a powerful torque converter to match it, will i blow my transmission or my rear end apart? plus, what's a good way to keep traction using the bigger turbos so i don't end up in the wall?
my car has 167000 miles on it. and it still had the stock air filter on it when i got it. so it's still bone stock. i am doing a top end rebuild on it with a cam 204/214 or 206/214, haven't decided just yet. but i definetly don't know what to do about the turbo. so i'm looking for advice from the forum. anything you guys can tell me is appreciated.
