#59030, "Prepping for turbo, help..."


          

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.
