right first off, im not just planning on sticking a turbo on it and being done with it..

i am asking for information on everything, mangagement, fuel management ? internals? reccomend anything?

why would i want to upgrade to an engine that has as standard 28 bhp more than my current one does? if i was going to upgrade to a larger engine i would have the b18b. HOWEVER i cannot insure this, but i can however insure having modifications on my current engine, im not just sticking a turbo on it and having done wiht it i have acutally gone out and asked questions etc.. why do you think i posted this up on here?
