#75497, "what type of work for a turbo kit"


          

just wondering what king of work needs to be done in order to add on a turbo, im probbaly gonna get the hahn stage 2. just doing some research so i can see what all i can't do and who around my area can do it.

also what mods should i get if im only planning on boosting like 8-9 psi till i get the money to build the engine.

Also can anyone reccomend a good piggyback fuel computer, i've heard good things about e-manage

Jason

Buy kit, install kit, blow up motor, rebuild motor

You can do it yourself with basic tools... borrow what you need from loan-a-tool programs at NAPA and AUTOZONE.

Try using search below, works wonders.

what i typed in didnt recieve any matches, also i was referring as if there was any welding or something of that nature involved when installing a turbo kit. Cause i don't know how to weld so id have to get that done somewhere if there is welding involved

Definitely go pick up a copy of Maximum Boost and read it before you even buy the kit. I wish I did. That way you'll understand how everything in a turbocharged car works. Its just too much to be explained in one thread. Also search. All this info is in the forums already.

MODS:

HRC 16g turbo kit, Spearco custom FMIC, Custom IC piping, VT rebuilt engine: Custom 8.8:1 compression CP pistons, Eagle connecting rods, Melling oil pump, Clevite bearings, 370cc injectors, Vortech S-FMU, Apexi N-1 catback exhaust, AFX UDP, Autometer boost gauge, fuel pressure gauge, EGT gauge, Corbin's digital A/F gauge, Tokico Blue shocks, Tein springs (1.5" drop), 18" Konig Verdicts rims, VIS stock-style Carbon fiber hood
