looking for reference sites on prior buildups, requirements, costs, parts reviews, valve and drivetrain reliability etc. tried honda-tech but it is more chassis specific over there.

well. www.homemadeturbo.com is pretty good with info on turbo setups. they show peoples setups, but i dont know how many are lst's. to me just researching alot and talking to knowledgable people is the best way. because the setup is only one factor to their performance.

you're never gonna find all the info you want on one specific site... you might as well start asking specific questions and we'll start answering them.
