Hey all, I've had my 95 240 for about 7 months now and after thinking about going all N/A, I've really decided I'd like to go forced induction. I'm new to turbos, but not motors. I have absolutely no idea where to begin researching, because i don't even know what to research. I'm really into autocross so I'd like a turbo setup that has no lag and is fairly easy to install/maintain.

Please someone just point me in the right direction...where should I start?

Sorry for the noob post, but i've no idea.

Buy the book Maximum Boost by Cork Bell and Electronic Fuel Injection by Ben Strader. That should give you a lot of good info to get started. Then hang out in the KAT forum were all the Cool Kats hang out!!

I'm looking for around 200-250 to the wheels. Budget's not too tight, but I really don't want to go spend 4000 on a kit from boostdesigns. I'd like to piece together a kit.

and thanks for the book recommendations.
