Needed some much wanted help. Ive decided on putting a turbo in my 3400 v6 alero and wanted to know besides the turbocharger and wastegate, what all do i need and i mean everything try and give me the MOST important stuff first (i know this is going to be a long and interesting process putting in a turbo but ive been dying to do something to juice the hell out of the car but to do it safely and not be a redneck and do it halfassed thank you)

sweet thanx guys, i asked bj now just waiting on a response from him i checked the boards as well, lots of shit to buy but the only real problem i think i will have is getting headers for a 3.4, just not many sites have em, if any knows where i can get some headers that arent outrageously priced that would be kewl but until then ille be setting my eye on some close to 600 dollar headers on one of the sites some one mention on here.

How much power you looking to output? If under 10psi you should be okay with stock internals. You a waste gate, a turbocharger(duh), a blow-by valve, boost controller helps too. A custom flange on your header to mate the setup. and some plumbing to help get the air into the intake. Oh yeah a pcm upgrade.

No site mentioned here makes the headers you need...unless your doing a remote mount turbo...

only way to do turbo is custom turbo headers which are not made right now except by dpp which will not be reopening for a while. You cant just get a flange to bolt onto the existing manifold, there isnt enough room and the stock manifolds dont flow enough. Itll be long custom process if you wanna make it work. Good luck.
