11019, TO all who put on a Star stage 1 turbo
Posted by mrlocalpimp, Oct-22-01 10:19 AM
Im just wondering

Assuming you bought the stage 1 and NO extras whatsoever, what else was involved?

What else did you have to buy?
Pipes to bend?
Holes to drill?

Any special tools?

Typically all you really need to buy is vaccuum line, plastic T fittings, and beer. All the pipe comes pre bent, and with a stage 1 there isn't really much pipe to deal with. The only "special" tool you'll need, other than a fairly complete tool set, is a 1 and 1/16th inch oil pressure sending unit removal socket.

Well you would want
1)Boost Gauge, cuz you wanna monitor your boost duh
2)Splitsec VC1 voltage clamp to clamp your voltage down so your ECU won't see boost cuz if it does you'll get a jolt. Although some folks say check valves work just fine
3)BOV..I highly recommend one..GReddy BOV. If you don't when you let off the throttle you'll get an owl in your compressor -you'll get a howl, and possible compressor surge. The BOV will help you maintain/ level your boost between shifts = better throttle response. And you WILL enjoy your turbo more cuz your BOV sounds everytime
