Arrow pumped

well i did it. i found a complete motor swap for 900$ today and bought it (h22) of course. anyways im in no hurry to get it in since i now have it im going to slowly build it and then slap a turbo on it and i was wondering what turbo would be best for it. keep in mind ill be driving this probably 3-4 times a week so it doesnt need to be really a daily driver. also im doing a dynamat install this week before i go to waterfest with my friend (volkswagen and audi) car show. so ill have a DIY up next week. anyways if anyone coud find me a 5 lug swap for cheap i would love to get it...thanks. well i was just letting everyone know what is up ill be updating again later so PEACE

Congrats a nice T3/T4 turbo and do the internals and take it easy when you first install it so you don't blow it.

build one or the other IMO.....either go n/a or turbo, they are apples and oranges.

make that choice and that will determine the type of build for your motor.

if your stock motor is fine.....I would just save and build the motor and turbo and then install everything at once, instead of going n/a then building for turbo
