BIG PROJECT, and I need advice!!
ok, so, heres the deal.. I want to put a lot of power under the hood, for cheap. I found twin turbo kits for thirdgens on ebay for aroung 700 bucks. sure, they might be cheap, but im not gonna be putting them under a lot of abuse. Ive never turboed anything before, and idk how hard its gonna be.. Im not sure how to do stuff like route the exhaust, can I hook it up to my stock carb, etc, etc.. any advice, stepp by step, or anything would be helpful.. thanks.

I know this is gonna sound mean , but it really ain't meant to be .....Do you really expect someone is gonna sit down for a few hours and write the 100 page step by step installation manual for each and every person with go fast aspirations who comes here and asks that same question ? Most folks don't even get a response to such broad questions and end up going away thinking we're all ****** . The simple fact is , that if you want it BAD enough , all ya gotta do is go four sections down from where you posted , to the heading called "POWER ADDERS" , and every question you don't even know you need answered yet has already been answered in full detail , and all ya gotta do is spend the time reading to educate yourself about what your contemplating . No one is gonna hand you your turbo "on a silver platter" and all of the "legwork" must be yours alone . Otherwise , best to gather up a cool $5000 or so , and pay someone who IS willing to do the research , installation , and tuning to set it up for ya .
Good Luck ......

Start by buying a welder and learning how to use it. Best advice for a beginner. I wouldnt even touch the car yet.
