Turbo Help!!

I am wanting to purchase a turbo kit or piece one together within the next month or two and I am wanting some advice on which way to go, I will be spending between 3-5,000 but I just want to know which turbo or turbo kit to purchase. I would also like to keep my a/c and power steering if it's possible. Any help would be appreciated, thanks a lot.

I would recommend to do HMT. That's what I did, and it's a lot cheaper. Keeping AC and PS may be tricky, make sure you pick your manifold carefully and do research to be sure it will work with AC & PS on an H22.

okay first off. i would figure out how much power you want to top out at. the reason i say that is because then you can invest in the parts that can get you there and a little above that power range so you dont have to upgrade for awhile.
ex: say you want 400hp as your goal. okay
get a 2.5 intercooler kit for around 450-
a precision 600hp intercooler 350-
any manifold you choose thats not log ... your gonna loose ac. and you dont want to cheap out on a manifold because that is one of the most important power achievers to be added (equal length) run 600- and up
then turbo.... might as well go ball bearing... at least 1200-
this is piecing it together.... yea it will cost more but you get more power out of it.

now if you go w/a kit you can too always upgrade. but your gonna be stuck around the 300hp marker because of its limitations. but a kit is a kit its more plug and play like, instead of do custom work like pipe and exhaust routing and also rewiring.
either way .. boost is expensive... that 3 - 5 grand isnt enough. you still have tuning and other parts that have to be replaced or prepared to go boost. ive spent well over 10gs to get everything where i want it.... and i still want more.
