After 45 seconds of searching using my phone Internet I found this little guy. There were more links but it's your interest to turbo a 3 not mine.

use tripoints kit, only one available they have most if not all in the info you need, if you want more power after the turbo then u need to get rods, pistons, bigger injectors, a retune etc

Agreed. This has been discussed by every newbie in the book.

Second, as Tracker points out, if your car is an auto, keep the boost very low. Your trans will begin to self-destruct @ +/-200hp.

Currently, Tri-Point has the best and most complete kit that I know of. It is said (and tested) that with a 5-sp, it will keep up with, if not surpass a stock MS3 on the track.
But any time you push more power, it is a trade/gamble with relaiability. Transmission, clutch, axle shafts, brakes, etc are all designed for a maximum. The MS3's are more heavily built to handle such HP.
At the very least consider upgrading the engine mounts along with the turbo.

While I'd love the extra power, neither am I.
Besides, with everything else to do around here, and gas prices skyrocketing too, the wife would absolutely KILL ME!! Haha.
