I've never heard anything good about SSAutochrome. Last I knew they epoxied their turbos together.

homemadeturbo.com just go in there and ask. What ever you do do not mention anything about ssautochrome in there. Anyway they have all ther hook ups for turbos, where to get them for hella cheap, what to buy and what not. They also have detailed instructions on there to put a turbo on your motor!

just my .02

what car to look for talons?
You want something out of a 1G DSM ('90-'94 Eclipse/Talon/Laser) if you are going factory Mitsubishi. A factory 14B will be around $100-$150 used for a clean used one. A small 16G is the same thing as a 14B, but uses a different, better flowing compressor wheel. Look to spend $150-$300 on a good used one. A big 16G uses a better flowing exhaust housing and exhaust wheel, usually good for around 350hp in DSM's. Its a good spooling, good topend turbo all around. Look to spend around $600 new, and about $350-$500 used.

You could also go with a TD05 or TD06-20G, but I'd only advise if you plan on building for more boost. The factory T-25 in the 2G DSM's is practically useless IMO, unless you are running some sort of SOHC-T on low boost (6-8psi). They don't really flow jack squat and poop out quick in the top end.

I thought a tdo5 is a 14b, that's what I have a tdo5 14b dsm turbo.

as for the bov, I'd just use a dsm bov. Unless you want a loud ass one. Then do with a turbo xs rfl
