Question Where can I get reliable info on different turbos?

Like, characteristics, power available, price, etc.

Anyone point me at a site, or even a thread with sensible discussion, or an article?

Apologies i was just being silly ,i thought scoobynet.

Anyway
there are a few dealers who do a few different turbo's Lateral performance,Alan Jeffreys engine tuner and so on i spoke to them all and got lots if good info and they all told me their turbo were either the same or better than the next dealer as you would expect from anyone running a buiseness.I would get much info off these guys and then as your man says speak to your mapper who will know what your needs are and have the best idea of what is best for you and tell you the specific characteristics of each turbo has through his experience.This is how i chose mine ,i dont mid a bit of lag so ended up with a md321t from lateral and love it.
Sorry about the stupid first answer ,i'm in Brunei at the mo bored out my mind .Home on sunday.

Decide what power you would like to achieve, find turbos that match your spec+ ancillaries, then decide if you can afford to build a car to that power level!
