you're welcome, i'd start with a stock 302 bottom end, make sure it has hyper pistons and the rare E7s (if you can find them)... then i'd get a 106mm turbo and flipped BBK shorties, don't worry about fuel or spark, just crank the boost to 35-40 lbs and let her rip man!

This.
And don't forget to fill with 4 more quarts of oil on each oil change, as a 106mm turbo will actually eat oil from excessive boost - it'll get crazy.

I just don't like when people don't do their research. I understand we all have to start somewhere, but when/if I don't know or understand something, I read everything I can find on the topic. If I still don't understand, I pose a question in an intelligent manner. He basically asked the equivalent of "how do I split the atom?" Here's an idea... READ.

hahaha, still chuckling, anywho to the OP if you have to ask a question like that you probably shouldnt be doing it yourself
Ok, deleted a few posts. Could we at least make a half-hearted attempt at being serious and answering the question?
What you need exactly depends on how much boost you're planning. At a minimum, you'll need new injectors, MAF, fuel pump, and a tune. At most, you could be looking at an entirely new drivetrain and engine management system, so your question is a bit vague, honestly. What are your goals?

If you ask questions like that on the turbo forums your gonna get no responses, do your homework, and go into more detail about what you have, how much u wanna spend, how much power you wanna make, how much boost, where you want it to spool at, and what your current setup is
figure it this way. It will be about $6000.00 for all that you need to put a "kit" on your car. Not even knowing what you have. A decent kit is about $4k +/-. From there you need maf, fuel pump, injectors if not included in kit. Exhaust possiably if needed for kit. A clutch to handle your new power. And the all important tune. WHich around here TX seems to be $600.00. 4 for the tune and 2 for the chip. And that is just what I think it will need to drive it around and not blow up right away. If you can fab , and tune for your self you can probably do it for half the cost. If not the skys the limit. Doesn't hurt to have a plan B for when your non turbo engine gives up a head gasket or cracks a block down the middle.
