Size of Intercooler is important for cooling or if too big and air flows too easily, will not cool down properly. The Wastegate are critical with the chosen turbo size for releasing extra gas and so on and so on. My point is that, what you're asking about, is a subject that is very involved to design and architect. A [proper] turbo kit is not throwing money and putting a bunch of pipes and turbos together. If you go this route, you'll not find yourself with the right kit. That's why you see [experienced] vendors like VRE, Turbonetics, Fastlane and others, spend months of time to develop it.
My humble suggestion is not to reinvent the wheel and go with a kit that is working already, like VRE or Fastlane. If you're set with TT, there was another vendor, if you search, you'll find them in this forum, and they have a very nice TT.
Good luck and becareful from wrong advice!

THXS..for the advise i really appreciate that..
.but i already know some but im sure not all of the basics.. like...The capacity of my engine,The number of valves,At what RPM to i want the turbo to come in,The type of fuel i plan on using,The turbo boost i plan on running and The amount of horsepower wanted to build and some more things like tunning......and i also know that throwing money at it and putting bunch of pipes together attached to a turbo doesn't make me a (experienced) person like the companies mentioned
....but i'm not in the business or make my living on making or designing turbo kits or anything related to any automotive products...this was a simple question on asking other fanatics of cars like myself if they had a chance to build a set-up what would they add or modify but i wanted to go with any of the vendor mentioned, i know that they did they're R&D and more....and i would be happy with any of them!! and i really appreciate your suggestions
but if i could, i would like to build my own kit, i know i must be sick
. this was not intended to knock or dissed anybody(apologies just in case)or that i would try to attempt to do it
...but if i could i would reinvent the wheel ...lol
