Hot parts connect the exhaust ports on the heads to the exhaust housing on the turbo.

You also will have a downpipe, which takes exhaust out of the turbo and routes it down to the exhaust system.

The charge piping will take compressed air from the turbo, route it through a intercooler and into the throttlebody.

Buy "Maximum Boost" by Corky Bell. This book explains gasoline based car turbo systems from a general standpoint down to more detail... you just read as much as you want. I guarantee it will be the best $25 you spend on your turbo system! This is THE turbo book! Just buy it!!!!!!!!
