So i plan on buying a 420a engine from the junkyard for $150 and hopefully a manual tranny as well. Newb to turbo's and everything thats needed, and yes i have read around before you diss my thread. So im looking for 300whp, and still want it to be my dd. But i havent seen anyone say anything about putting on bigger brakes for the turbo conversion do you need to do that or what? Just looking for help not smart remarks so if you have any advice i am willing an open to listening..:hellyeah:
 
Well your going to get opionons like them or not, you dont need big brakes. Again, when you ask here everyone will give you different options and ideas, so thats somethiing to keep in mind.
 
A build? What are you asking?
You want to know about turbo'ing, I linked you.
You want to know about big brakes, I linked you.
You haven't asked anything else as far as we're concerned, and what you have asked has been covered a million times.
 
Ok. You said you want it to be your daily so you gotta have abother car. Take that 150 save a few more benjis and buy some pistons and rods for that turbo it will pay off in the long run. You don't want your dd breakin son. Its always a plus to have a spare tho. Lol
