how do u regulate how much boost a turbo makes, im shooting for 11-14 psi
its called a wastegate
there's internal and external wastegates but they both work on the same principal
Turbos on HowStuffWorks.com
check out that link it should explain everything
thanks mate, in addition to that, do you guys recommend any books or anything to help me along, i read about all these numbers and graphs and dont understand much of it, and im definately interested in learning.
Maximum Boost by Corky Bell is a great book. A little outdated, but still VERY useful.

absolutely. actually we've been reading the book a lot lately studying carb'd turbo V8 setups... and I think our next project car is going to be a single turbo big block 
I was a retard, and now I'm permanently banned.
nice
almost too bad the engine faces the wrong way, a small block v8 with a 6-71 weiand blower sticking out the hood of a sunfire'd be pimp
