#1 turbo charger - which one?
well this depends on ur total goals for ur engine.But i recomend a to4e stage 3 57 trim.its large enough for high boost.but isnt an all out race turbo.ive experanced 6psi by 2,400 rpms with this turbo and full boost 14psi by 3,100 rpms.these turbos can be bought on ebay for around 200$'s i went with a .63 ar on the hot side,and a .50 ar on the cold side.


#2 wastegate/boostcontroller
u have 2 options internal or external.i cant help u with an internal wastegate,cause i didnt use one.nut i went with an 36mm external gate also off ebay.i recomend getting one with a 3.63 psi spring,so u can use a boost controller to control ur boost,the low psi spring alows u to turn ur boost way down to compensate for bad gas/improper tunning. can be had on ebay for around 80$'s for the wastegate,and around 5-20#'s for the boost controller


#3 silicone connectors
u will need various connectors but the sizes will depend on things like ur intercooler inlet and outlet sizes,and the turbo in/out sizes.But for intent and purposes i will assume u go with all the same things i did.
i ended up buying 3 of 2.5 inch couplers 3 3inch couplers, 1 3inch to 2.5 reducer,and 1 2inch to 2.5 inch reducer


#4 intercoolers
what u can use for birds/camaros will vary
i went with an volvo 740 intercooler which can be had on ebay for about 40$'s.they fit nice behind the grill in the camaro,and the way the inlet and outlets are are perfect.They are also more efficent then most of those 100-200$ aluminum intercoolers found on ebay.though the only down side i do see is that they have plastic end tanks.but ive had mine to 14psi so far and havent had any problems.


#5 BOV
u have 2 styles to chose from to atmosphere and recirculating
recirculating is recomended for maf equiped cars.with that said im running a to atmposphere bov on a maf car and have not had a problem.
but the choice is up to u.either will work.and is highly recomended on any car that will see around 7+psi.if u want the distinctive bov sound go with an to atmosphere valve,if u want to keep things nice and quiet go with a recirculating.
these can be had on ebay very cheap i paid around 35$'s for mine


#6 tubing
u will need around 8 2.5 inch bends(have to dbl check) 6 being 90* and 2 being 45*
and about the same in 2.25 inch tubbing (WILL DBL CHECK EXACT COUNT LATER)


#7 injectors - fmu- tunning
for cars staying around 7 psi u will need 19# injectors and an 4-1 or 6-1 fmu
th einjectors are stock on 305/350 tpi motors i believe the 350 are 21# but i can be wrong.can be had off ebay or the boards here pretty cheap
the fmu can be had off ebay for around 80$'s
or u can go with computer tunning-which eliminates the need for the fmu,but is fairly tricky and not many ppl will tune a v6 car,for all intents this howto will be done with an fmu and larger injectors


#8 misc peices
these would include gaskets/oil return/feed lines
feed line is recomended to be 3-4an line but no larger
oil return line is recomended to be 10-an or larger
the length of the lines will be determines on turbo placement/and were u can fi tthe oil return fitting in the side of the oil pan( i recomend right below the oil filter on the drivers side,as this has the most room to weld the fitting onto the pan)
lines/fittings can be purchased from a local speed shop(a lil pricey) or ebay also a lil pricey
an lines are just exspensive look to have about 50-100+ in just lines
besides the lines u need a 1/8 inch pipe t alone with 2 1/8 pipe to an fittings for the oil feed line
and u also need 1/2 pipe to 10 or 12 an fittings depending on the size lines u use
also i recomend getting a 3wire o2 sensor as i had some problems with the stock single wire
i used a walker 3 wire o2 and havent had any problems since PART NUMBER 250-23003 cost was about 55$'s from local parts store + 5$'s for the weld in bung


#9 cars looking for high boost hi power apps will need larger injectors and fuel pump
right now im using 24# svo injectors and a walboro 255 pump fmu and adjustable fp reg
