Arrow Wanting to go turbo

I won't have the money for another month to do this. But I already have a magna flow catback exhaust, short throw shifter and Injen cold air intake. I also already have the boost gauge and pillar.

Who should I buy the turbo set up from? What all will i need? different injectors, pulley, cam or ?

I know I will need to get a tune. What else do you recommend that I do to my car before I put the turbo system in?

I am getting ready to go to Iraq and I want to get this ordered and have it all done by my dad when I come back home. So any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Your intake will be replaced by a turbo kit.

Thanks for the help so far. I am trying to get everything I need before I leave for Iraq in 2 months. Then my dad can break down my car and take his time doing everything.

So do I just need to buy the turbo kit and thats it? I know I need a tune for sure after everything. Or so I need other things. I want to be able to do everything I can do it while it is all broken down.

well my dad if going to drive my car up to zzp and going to but the stage 3 kit. I am just going to have them install it for me and my dad so he can work on my s2000 instead.

But if anyone knows anything else I need or should buy with my turbo kit let me know. I already ordered different rims and some other misc stuff to spruce it up.

you don't get your enlistment bonus till you get out of basic and your training and then you only get the first 10k. I got a total of 35k. I got 16k for my MOS, 8k for my College degree and a couple other things I got as well. I am an E-4 now. I am going to Officer school once I get back from Iraq. It's not too bad really.

Also my job I have right now I make 4k a month so yeah. i been doing this for about a year. got to love att, lol. Well I also love the Army since I make more with them than att.
