Kris,
nobody is trying to patronize you, its just that Stazi and myself are both mechanical engineers (though Stazi has more turbo experience than I do) and Chris has a lot of experience in general car modification though I forget what his education lies in.(though he really is as dumb as a rock :D)
I highly suggest you pick up this book and read it very very thouroughly before going any further, it will give you a good baseline for turbo systems, and help you understand what you are getting into, and how to find out what you will need and what you can expect.
