I havent decided yet, but thinking about a late 80s to 90s Toyota of some sort.

Cool.
Are you gonna lower the springs and put a "RACING" steering wheel and some alloy foot pedals in it too.

To be honest you're wasting your time. buy something thats designed for a turbo.

Stripes I heard are the best bong fad too, so yes I am.

why not just buy a turbo to start with seeing you havent actually got a non turbo car that you want to turbo! failing that, buy a car that will easily fit a factory turbo motor from the same make.

Why buy a used lot when I intend to fit new, not so wise. Duh

Fitting a turbo is the fun part, I'm talking about internal stuff.

if you want to do internal, why not spend the same amount making a factory turbo motor even stronger!

Buy a 1 or 2 jzge then. get all the bits for a 1 or 2 jzgte enginge from toyota then you will have spent waaaay more than what it would have cost to just buy a 2jzgte anyway. What kind of car is this for! i.e what is it going in!

Easy:
#1 Start by making wild claims on the message board and amongst your friends about how cool / fast its going to be.
#2 Buy an old junker
#3 Tell everyone its a "project car"
#4 Buy a used purple Chinese air filter first, then some of those Repco Specials "mods" like seat covers, radiator cap, LED lights, RPS muffler etc. You know, the cheap shit that can be brought up front.
#5 Go around to a few mechanics and car tuners for quotes, totally waste their time by getting them to price up parts and do proposals
Finally, never have enough money to start properly and get your car stickered by a "pig" because your tin can exhaust is too loud and your warrant is out three months. Sell it un-reg "as is where is" since you're "going overseas, but keen as on swaps".
Sorted.
