Default Help..on a custom turbo system

Im looking into putting together a custom turbo system on my 99 TA. Im looding for some guidence and pics from someone who has done this. I am also looking for parts. I am particularly looking for a turbo, wastegate, fuel pump, possibly injectors, boost reference regulator, and other turbo related parts. I am thinking of using a GT40 turbo. I was told that I need a 40-50mm wastegate, is that true? I want to keep my a/c so I am thinking of mounting my turbo under the passenger seat or in that region. I have pacesetter mid tube headers to put on. Im sure I will have a lot more questions but i would appreciate any help-thanks

Read the sticky's then come back with your questions you have. I think your passenger is going to get a hot ***. There are many vendors that can set you up. Make sure you understand how much its going to cost before diving in(read stickys)

You should buy a premade kit instead of trying to build your own

If he is capable of building his own fine but what if he has no tools or skills. Better to buy a kit then.
