Alright look, I have everything I need to install my turbo. I was going to have a guy I know install it for me cuz he's probably done that more than Ive been laid. Anyways, Ive been trying to get ahold of him for the past 3 weeks and he hasnt returned my calls. I dont know maybe hes busy or something. The only reason I didnt want to attempt is cuz Ive never done it. Well the past day or two Ive been thinking about doin it myself, but the prob is, like I said I dont know what to do. I know the basics, like where stuff goes, but I dont know the basic tuning and what not.

So if anyone knows of a write up or can help with this, I would love to give it a shot and finally know how to do it. I have already rebuilt my motor twice and Ive been working under hoods since I was 15. So Im definitley not a BANME! unber the hood.

Thanx peoples

then what are you worried for?

If youve done some rebuilds , then this is nothing compared to that.

What is it that you need help with?

do it. the install is easy compared to buildin a motor. its really hard to f*** up the tuning part, as long as you have egt gauge, fuel pressure, and 02 volts your set. in boost your shootin for .93 volts other than that just get ur idel smooth, then test and tune. just be easy on the car till you get it close. don't be scared

You see, right now until me and Mr SLick hook up to install the MS, Im runnin stock injectors. So this is whats buggn me.

What disc and spring to put in the SFMU
Should I even mess with the SAFC at first
Is there a setting that needs messed with on the wastegate
same for the BOV
what should the fuel pressure be
does the boost line on the turbo go to the wastegate
does the boost controller go in between that
where do I hook up the BOV(meaning the back air fitting)


the bolt on are easy, I have no prob with that. its the small things I dont know what goes where and what to set them at.

Every single one of those questions can be answered using the advanced search. I should know because I used it to find those exact answers when I installed my kit.

Ok, thanx for the tip. Any other tips related to the topic?

AND WHATS UP WITH "BANME!"

just out of curiousity is there any right-ups anyone has or knows of?

edit: detailed pics of install are helpful as well :thumbsup

Yeah have fun, Ive been lookin for the past few days and havent really found any straight answers or setups similiar to my setup. Its too bad you cant just get a straight answer when you ask it.

Good luck man, you find a right up, hit me up Id like to see it aswell.

Write up.

You just have to be a very bored person,lol. Thanx for the correction. Geez

Geez = Jeez.

Geez=Geez I hate you!!

I'm bored so here you go.

I don't know much about the sfmu, never really used it, changed my mind before I installed it.

You should be able to just leave the wastegate and bov alone, although I don't know what kind they are, but it shouldn't matter.

Your fuel pressure is going to depend on the size injectors you are using as well as it will rise while in boost because of the sfmu.

Yes, the boost line on the turbo goes to the wastegate, and yes the boost controller goes in between them.

I don't know what you mean by a back air fitting.

That should help for now, but like I said, it depends on your setup.

dont know if this helps at all but check this out http://www.cse.uconn.edu/~yelevich/turbo/turbo.html
i had this site from along time ago and forgot about it, its a custom turbo install into a teg, but it could still be used for info has some good pics as well.

THANK YOU!! Very good write up!!

I wouldn't even mess with the SAFC unless you are dynoing or tuning based on your A/F ratio on a open country road. I don't know if you have a wideband or a A/F guage....

Until I get the MS, I only have and EGT and A/F for now. When I have the MS I will have a wideband.
