Well I gathered all the parts and fabed up everything I needed to put the turbo on my car now I need to know how hi can I rev it till it blows apart, or will t blow apart.

It was pretty easy for my first turbo set up got a Weber Progressive 32/36 and a new T25 Garret and installed a carbon seal and it runs need a little tuning still, it stumbles a little.

mine didn't last long no carbon seal

7lb on a stock motor is all i pushed and 4500 rpm is all i felt safe doing.

I want a turbo.

Any writeups on homemade turbo's I tried the search but had toooooo many hits.

Looking for a good parts list and possible donor cars.

well I heard stock motor cooling fans shouldn't be reved passed 5k rpm and you should change the header to the style that kbwakesk8 cause you will have leaks were the pipes come in and that will have you lose performance
