i was looking on the garret website, and they have many different turbos. which one would be best suited for my application?

 

wow, i fel like a dumbPOOP HEAD because i dont know anything, but how does this turbo look? http://wwwb oostplanet com/gt20.htm
also, if someone has the time, can they write out what other parts i willneed. this would be much appreciated.

thanks

 

yeah that turbo will do it, if you want a cheaper route find a used 16g dsm turbo. as for other parts you will need a manifold obviously, down pipe, waste gate, blow off valve, boost control, injectors, engine management, charge piping..............

i am by no means a knowledgeable turbo guy, those are just what i thought of off the top of my head as almost all my friends are into the whole DSM thing

 

is a boost control needed if i only plan on running 4 to 6 pounds?
whats the max stock internals can handle?

 

yes

i wouldnt run more than 10 on stock internals

of course some peoples motto is boost it till it blows then build it

 

im sorry i keep asking you so many questions, but how much of a gain will 6 pounds give?

 

the standard is about 10hp per 1psi give or take

 

60 hp sounds pretty good to me. btw, how much power can an automatic transmission take?

 

if you ran a tranny cooler to it, it should be fine, because heat kills transmissions, and the more power would cause more heat
