Search, search, search. This has been beatin over the head millions of times. If not, google is your best friend

You sound like you watched Fast and the Furious one too many times. If youre going to get a turbo later down the road, save your money and do just that. Anything else is a waste of money.

Don't try and just build a motor if you don't know what you're doing. Far to easy to mess up especially if you have no idea what you are doing. Plus with the tC as long as you keep a good tune with a turbo you won't have any problems.

no body can tell you exactly what to buy or what to go with,all depends on what your using the car for,what your goals are,if you want boost,then just save up and get boost..hours and days,and month of researching and reading will get you a long way,its not just building a motor for power,what if something goes wrong,and something breaks,gotta know what to do,

for a lil fast just use your stock motor and but a turbo kit on it 280-320 whp on a tc will last you a loooooong time and will feel like a beast.
