Default Home built turbo

Where could a person find information on making there own turbo kit? Is there a website or a book or something. The piping and all that is needed to mount a turbo would be helpful. Just a random thought. I see people saying they are going to build there own and it just made the gears turn in my head.

Here is another site that seems interesting, it is a diff approach, according to them, the cooler temps more than counter the loss of psi over distance...

It's worth a look
