you need a connection to the internet (already done)
an internet browser
a username on JBO
a mouse
energy to click the search button

Yeah, seriously, if you don't have the time to search, you sure as heck don't have the time to boost your car.

Exactly. And what if something goes wrong..will you have enough time, money, and knowledge to fix the problem?
Blown.
the answer to the above ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ would be NO ......
no time to search = no time to boost = no fun for you .......

Nick, I've noticed in your thread in boost that even you don't want to learn and take the time to do research. I'm not ripping on you, but please watch what you post because there may be a few times where others will start harping on you each time you post; I just want to give you a friendly warning.
Blown.
the NUMBER ONE thing you can do when turboing a car is know EXACTLY what is going on. How turbo systems work, the theory and logic behind every aspect of boost. Go pick up "Maximum Boost" by Corky Bell. Read it over and over and over again.

IF, and I mean IF, you would have opened the "Parts List For A Custom Turbo" thread at the very fricken top of the page, you would have the answer to your question. But since you haven't, here, I'll hold your hand and do it for you. And if you're not too lazy, just print it off and you won't have to look for it anymore.
From the thread:
Turbo (generally a T3 or T3/T4 will do)
Wastegate (Internal or external)
Manifold
Turbo downpipe Flange
Bolts for turbo and downpipe flange
Downpipe
Braided oil lines with fittings
2.5" Pipe for charge pipes
Connectors and clamps for pipes
BOV and flange
FMU (I'd go cartech adjustable personally)
Bigger Injectors (if you plan to run over 6lbs of boost)
Inline/In tank pump
Boost controller (I'd go Greddy Profec)
MSD-DIS 2 (To turn back timing if you want anything over 6bs really)
TB Plenum
Lots of misc vaccum hose
Rubber Fuel lines for FPR
Oil and oil filter (for the obvious reason)
Gaskets
Gasket sealer
Air filter
Intercooler (optional, but worth it)
Some spare metal brackets for custom mounting the Intercooler
Misc bolts (self tapping), and Nut/bolt combos
Gauge pod
Boost Gauge, EGT gauge (optional but smart to have one)
(If you have a profec boost controller the boost gauge is unnecessary as its built in)
Tools:
A good toolset capable of taking the manifold off
Knife for mild cutting
Sawzall if you plan to cut your own charge pipes
File (in case you need to cut anything and don't want a sharp edge)
Dremel tool (You never know when you need to make room for things, although a good blade and a file will do the same job, but slower)
Drill (To mount your I/C and tap your firewall bolts)
Wire cutters/splicers
Oil Catch Pan
4-5 cases of beer, a weeks worth of time, and a lot of willing and capable friends.
LOTS AND LOTS of patience.
Opfer benotigt. Keine Erfahrung notwendig.
Victims needed. No experience necessary.
Sorry for wasting your time guys. Finally did read the post and realized I had a stupid queation. Prolbably won't be posting here anymore cause I don't have the time for it, owell. I will go boosted all by myself on this one.

hahahahhaahhahahaha
no time for the site = me thinking your going to blow up = no boost = me laughing at you = me boosting past you = me having fun = you being jealous = you coming back to the site = us not helping you = me being done with my equation rant
sum of it all....................
there are some things you can do a jbody on your own,
for everything else, good luck in anyone helping you again..........
