#67848, "after going turbo..."


          

After going turbo what can i expect to replace/fix in the car? The kit is on the way and trying to get everything here before hand so i dont have much downtime on the car "incase" something happens.

Run compression test, make sure that's up to par.

Make sure all normal maintenance is up to date.

Weakest links (in my opinion) tend to be your head gasket (assuming it's the original), and possibly your clutch.

Other then that, I haven't broke anything in 15,000 miles.

Other then tires emoji

Get a new fuel filter; if your using the stock injectors, run some injector cleaner...

Nothing really to replace if your car is in good condition in the first place, and if you don't blow your motor (make sure to follow the manufactures settings).

Yeah, no real immediate changes, just make sure you start saving cash right away and begin planning for rebuilds and upgrades down the road. Obviously our engines were not built for turbos, so you do need to make necessary changes.
