Nobody is going to spoon feed you all the info. Read read read....

Build up the the interior of your engine first. Like cams, valves, valve springs, pushrods, new pistons that can take the abuse of boost and all of the other sh!t before even thinking about putting a turbo on your car, or it will go BOOM!

Kits on websites are usually cheaper than piecing it together yourself. I doubt you are going to do any better. As for quality, you can always do better on your own.

The other basic problem is that trying to lowball yourself always ends up in failure. You can't have a reliable setup for less than $5k, and that's if you do all the install work yourself.

5k is pretty optimistic actually if everything else falls together better leave yourself some wiggle room.

Not to hate, but
1) cams, valves, and valve springs will do NOTHING to make your engine more
reliable with a turbo. If anything, less reliable, when taken to an extreme, as
they put more wear and tear on the valvetrain, valve seats and need more
frequent adjustment.

2) Our engines do not have pushrods.

You don't need to build your engine, depending on how much power you want
to make. I've run stock Honda/Toyota engines to 100+hp over stock, for
years, and flogged them with no adverse effects. They did not go "boom."
Engines go "boom" because someone doesn't bother to learn how to tune
them and what appropriate limits are.

Way to bump a 4 month old thread.

Haha, touche. I think I found it in a search for something or another and neglected to notice that. He's already mad boosting with his l33t valvetrain.
