Who knows what about Turbo

i wanted to know if anyone knew how the universal set up is
i have the turbo(dsm turbo)
i'm getting an intercooler(those nice little cute thunderbird ones)

If you have any knowledge on Turboing a car tell me now

well here is an idea

i have the turbo
get the intercooler
have piping
i plan on getting Stainless Steel for my set up
(so it could look purty!)
I plan on getting 19 lb injectors at least, i really wanted to get LS1 injectors but the money is way out of my budget. at least for now.
Performance Fuel Pump
P Headers
i have dual exhaust to help spin the turbo quicker. (Yes dual, no not Y-Pipe)
MSD stuff
and a few other things
including Blow off valve

You have dual exhaust? Tell me all about it! Thats' what I am getting done next week, and everyone on here tells me its gonna sound like crap, and make me lose too much backpressure. How do you like it?

i have a 3.4
but it sounds like crap
to be honest
i think it does build up back pressure
but i don't know
i plan on getting the turbo
so the dual works better for me in the end
i spool up better because of it

i'm getting flowmasters in soon hopefully
maybe to cover up the weird sound
maybe i'm just not used to the sound
i had flowmasters before
and now i have stock mufflers
Its loud
and i worry because with two flowmasters
i'll prolly wake up my neighboring city

Do a search on turbos here, you'll find plenty of threads on this site.

Just a word of wisdom I doubt you'll like the blowmaster with a turbo if you infact do it, well at least they sound like total *** on TTA's

Also I believe LS1 injectors will NOT work on conventional SBC FI set ups, something about the length of them and how they clip into the fuel rail or something...

thanks for the info
both the flows, and the fuel injectors
i might put em in or not
my dad put em in when he suprised me with the engine and the dual exhaust
and supposebly it sound like crap
but then again the entire exhaust was new
it didn't even develop its tone yet
i've been driving it longer now so perhaps its better, but w/e
