I've had my p5 for about 2 years now been thinking about maybe adding a turbo to it soon. I've been thinking about a couple of different options maybe swapping to a used engine in case i mess it up, or i could just bolt it on and go with it.

I'm basically looking for some suggestions but plz keep in mind i'm still a young idiot learning alot aobut cars. I could use some suggestions on lowering compression, where to find a decent kit (all i've found so far is hiboost.com) and any other things i might need to know aobut.

I'm not really a stupid when it comes to engines but i have a bad tendency to ask stupid question when i get confused sometimes, but anyway i look forward to chating with your guys in the future and any input you guys might have is really appreciated

Head over to Amazon.com and pick up a copy of "Maximum Boost" by Corky Bell. It's a great place to start grasshopper.

Welcome to the forum. Maximum Boost is a great book (well, I haven't finished it yet, but it's great so far).
