    Minimal turbo beginings

    can i start with a turbo (running 3-4 psi), waste gate, manifold, oil return kit, and a boost gauge running everything else stock including exhast system?

    can i skip the fuel pump, injectors, fuel management system, BOV, and the intercooler and build from there and increase the boost as I go?

    minimum boost you can run is 5-6 psi.

    there is no half assed attemptsd to turbo a car. do it right and good the first time.

    what's the point in running that low of boost? stock internals handle 10-12. it all depends on the tune
