Installing a Turbo Kit I have a stupid question. I plan on putting a turbo kit in my car a while down the road. I was wondering if it is better to install i/h/e before the turbo kit or is it better to wait until the kit is on?

^^well, cahnces are your exhaust will be for na, so the pipig will be to small and prob the exhaust will need to be replaced with a bigger/higher flowing one

I dont think that I wanna go any higher than 8psi. Ultimately I'd love to get my car around 200whp

So what IS a good exhaust to go with if Im going turbo? Ive seen a few people use custom piping with a Magnaflow axel back or muffler.....I dont know what else is large enough for turbo...

Not to be an ***, but WTF does this remotely have to do with this thread?!?!?!
