Does anyone know how to do custom turbo install, and know where to get a good used turbo and intercooler.
My car of course is 2001 Saturn SC-1 1.9L SOHC L4, has around a 120 HP and 130 lb/ft.

Need more info on what you want to do exactly, but in general:

Lower engine compression
Forged pistons and rods
new engine computer (or modded stock)
different exhaust
different intake
lots of gauges to monitor whats going on
bigger fuel injectors
an intercooler is a good idea
upgraded cooling system never hurts

Yea but when that engine comes off that stand and in my truck its gonna be stompin you and any turbo you get. But of course knowin the speed i work, itll probably be about 2 years before it goes in. JK (lets hope not)
