Turbo, Turboooo Options

[Celica_Kid95st]

Whats up guys. Ok my friend is selling a turbo for like $100. I have a '95 ST, and not alot of money, but this kid i no said that u can still put it on without an intercooler and pipes and **** for now at least but not to wait like years u no. I'm wondering if hes right and i can just buy the turbo and weld it on. Is that right? If so what other things would i have to get right now, but i want the littest that i can cause i dont have like any money, like if i dont need it now then skip it. Aight thanks for the help. peace. -john

a "ram" intake still will not "force" air into the engine like a turbo will it pretty much puts the car from a vacuum state to a nuetral state... not give boost thoug... well MAYBE one or 2 psi...

So even though I have a scoop in my front bumper that appears to force air in, it's not? What if it was a BIG scoop? I do get what you’re saying though. Without the turbo or s/c there, there's nothing to really force the air in, and it only makes it equal instead of forcing air in. That's pretty much what you said, I think. I've always been kind of worried about using it on the interstate, I thought it'd force to much air in and blow it up. My dad told me that you can't force to much air in, but my uncle said you could. My uncle is usually smarter when it comes to the mechanics of cars. The scoop I have now is the size of the 94-95 hole in the bumper on the side. There was kind of a scoop thing there in the first place, on the right looking at the car. But I sealed it and ran tubing from it to my throttle body. There's a filter in there sometimes . I always thought that around 30mph I would have the same boost as a lot of turbos. What's the verdict on my situation here?

EDIT: Sorry about the failed attempts are editing this thing right. And I really think this belongs in a new post, sorry about cluttering up your "turbo" post there buddy.
