Sorry if I ask obvious questions but I'm new so I don't know much when it comes to boosting. So, my questions are:
1) Which turbo kit is ideal for my car to output 400+ whp (but less than 500hp) and similar torque without having a lot of risk of blowing up the engine? I've heard fullblown turbo kits are nice but is there anything else that has better bang for the buck?
2) What is a safe PSI for the recommended turbo kit? Does having more PSI have an effect on the engine?
3) Should I run E85 or premium gas? I believe most of you would say E85 but I want to know what differences would I experience with these types.
4) Are there any other parts that I have to upgrade other than the turbo kit so that my car doesn't break down? If so, which ones are really required so that I don't risk having broken parts or blowing up the engine?
5) Would installing the Invidia N1 full exhaust help with the boosting process? (I really like the sound of this)
Please help me with these questions as this would be the first car that I'm ever going to have a turbo installed on.
Thanks

Hey I am new as well, but I know a lot and people here aren't really helpful. They know these things out of experience, the studying of this will be better.
1. Fullblown Stg 1 delivers around 300whp, stg 2 delivers more but then you would be looking to change internal of the engine since we only have 1998cc (2.0) of volume. It is not enough to run 400 without risking to blowing up. Is it possible, yes LOL but you risk 90% of blowing it up.
2. The higher the pressure the more it will be a parasite. The more the pressure the more the power though. Think of compression
3. E85 is not a recommended fuel, but it is recommended if lets say you want to have full boost on the track or to have full power once. It is not expensive but the car requires more ethanol to do what petrol do.
4. & 5. Turbo = Air going in and a lot of HEAT
Then you need to get cooling parts (oil cooler, new radiator) etc
Oil changing is ideal
Exhaust to have what goes in goes out.. N1 is 2.5" of pipes.. you need at least 3" for that power........
