What A/R is on the turbo and how it helps/hurts performance?

- Larger the AR the later it spools and better for the top end of the car. But this is also dependent on the housing sizes being used on the car

The different types of wastegates and their advantages/disadvantages?

- Internal : Good up to about 12 psi
- External : Anything above 10 PSI but you need a good manifold for this.

Research to find out what i am going to have to do tuning wise to get it to work?

- Fuelling will have to be managed so a piggy back or a stand alaone

Read a compressor map? I do not even know what that is?
- Where are you trying to use it and for what purpose(daily drive good torque or all out performance)?

What kind of maintainance do i have to do afterwards? Costs of maintainance?
- Much higher waer and tear can increase the maintainance costs
