59030, Prepping for turbo, help...
Posted by rgirard413, Sep-11-03 06:24 PM
I have 109k on my motor. Just got headgasket, timingbelt waterpump, radiator done on car. Anything else i would need to take care of before i would boost the engine? I plan to run lower boost before doing internal work. Thanks

Something will break. It's a DSM.
Like turbo8u said, just boost it already. You've done some good maintenence there already. Just keep your motor monitored while boosting.

yea couple things i reccommend getting:
A/F gauge
pocketlogger (HANDY little bugger)
EGT gauge (exhasut gas temp)
those are some basic tools to help u tune it, good luck :)
