Generally, there is not much to know going from custom from a whole kit.

A whole kit usually cost more, while a custom you can get exactly what you want, and sometimes it is cheaper, and sometimes its more if you go hardcore you know.

Everything is the same though, you need the same type of parts either way.

Thats what i dont understand. There is a homepage that has info on turbo charging an engine, but hell, no one reads that stuff because why take the time and read? Because its easier for someone to be lazy and post up and ask the same question and get the same answers EVERY single time. and usually 90% of the time, it is someone who chimes in to tell them to search to get their answers, and they are right. the answers are there, but no one wants to put the effort into finding them because like i mentioned above, its easier for them to post instead of actual researching...

same thing as to why newbies post questions about problems they have and not diagnosing their cars. they dont take time to research what does what, and they end up just guessing and throwing parts on the car and then saying, well i bought a new sensor and the car still doesnt start or whatever. i can pull 3 threads of examples of this within a weeks time right now if i wanted.

i am not saying anyone is wrong here, but the problem is that people are too lazy and honestly, just do not know enough about how things work or should work to be doing modifications to their cars. turbocharging an engine is not an easy thing, is not safe or good for your engine if you do not know what the hell your doing.

in a nut shell, i am saying, if you dont know what type of parts you need to complete a modification, you dont need to be attempting to do it. now, if its something new that you are doing, like a new mod that no one has ever done or tried, yes, then help will be given, but its been 10 years now that people have been turbo'ing 420a's and you mean to tell me that there arent good posts to find to give them information on what to use and what not to use, how to do things and how not to do things. i call that straight bullshit.

I am out. Peace.
