the time has come for me to boost the probe. I understand a little about turbos, but not much.

i know that i need new injectors, and fuel pump.

what i dont know, is the difference between blow off valves, waste gates and turbos.

how do i know what size bov and waste gate i need?

and, what the **** is going on with turbos man. how do i know the housing size, the wheels size, wheel pitch, what the heck. if anyone can explain anything, or has and recomendations, please let me know.

im putting new rods, pistons, valves and valve seats in before its getting boosted. im looking to run around ten pounds. shooting for somthing like 250whp. Sound about right?

I know very little about Probe GTs so my first assUmption is that this is a 2.5 Liter V6. If so then any of the stockish turbos off a DSM or Scoobaroo should work fine.

Any BOV should work fine as well since you won't be pushing a lot of boost through it. I personally like the 1g DSM BOVs.
