Custom Turbo??? What all is needed???

I want to turbocharge (not supercharge) my iroc..... Ive been looking around and get a good turbo and intercooler for around $150. If i go through with it, i will first turbo my MUDDING SAMURAI that would be supporting 36" swampas. Does anyone have any good websites of what all is involved etc.... Any ideas.... please HELP it does not look all that complicated if you customise the exhaust manifold.

You'll also need to find piping, flanges, and rubber boots to connetct compressor pipes together.

Nope, gotta do it yourself. The couple of extra low end ft-lbs you get from tuned headers isn't worth the money unless you're racing. Just use the biggest SBC manifolds you can find and run them into a plenum on a single turbo application. I guess the only other time tuned exhaust would be a big deal is if you were using one turbo on a split housing. Then you could get into turbine speed surging. As long you run everything into a collector before the turbo then all of the cylinders can cross talk and you won't run into any speed surges.
