I WANT TURBO!

[Newfie_dan]

I was just throwing out my experience with them if he choose to swap injectors, I should of clarified that i guess.

[sciocchetti]

My buddy has like 6 or more turbos and alot of the other stuff lying around his garage(money saver). I had no intention of using the turbo in the kit i know there s--- but all the other stuff looked decent.

Ya, "looks decent"

Wategate, bov, AFPR should all be replaced. You really only need the one BOV as well (as long as it is rated for your pressure needs).

Boost controller is cheap, but should be fine. No idea who makes the TT, should not impact anything either. Tach is also crap.

Do your home work.

Also expect to add a wideband O2 ~200.00 and up
Good BOV ~200
Good wastegate 300+
AFPR >100.00

I looked through this site alot and i wasnt having much luck. just a whole bunch of people telling other people to research more. The whole point of forums is to help other people and it worked. there is nothing wrong with this thread just people helping people......And i thank you for it.

Gotta look in the right places my friend :

That's the "Forced Induction" page. You'll find the most basic info, experienced info, and advanced info all in one. If you want to turbo your car and are questioning about the best way to manage it, I would put down the wrench and read first . No one is out to sound like a jerk on here but most won't answer you because they know that you can find the answer at the click of the search button.

Maybe you weren't typing in the right words??

First, what is your budget.

Second, disregard knowledge from your buddy trying to sell you a $2000 engine management system and any information from websites other than mx3.com and probetalk.com, unless it's regarding megasquirt in which case check out the megasquirt site.

Then we can go from there.

haha yes the whole time reading this.
i was thinking why in the hell is he buying a ebay turbo kit.
ur just spending money to blow your motor.
like its been said the only things good outa that kit are the intercooler, piping, manifold, and lines.
sell the rest back on ebay and buy parts that arent gonna screw you over in the long run

[sciocchetti]

I already said i had no intention of using the turbo and s--- and my budget is like $4000 right now

[SpatialTerror]

4000 is a good budget.
but i would sell the junk parts back on ebay.
and buy good stuff

[mazdags94]

He didn't buy them yet. I'm pretty sure he asked if he SHOULD buy the one kit.

Either way, sciocchetti, how much do you know about turbocharging and where did you learn it? Just curious (no offense)

[sciocchetti]

I dont know much but im very mechanically intuned. Im 21 and ive worked with cars over half my life and am curantly going for my class a lisence. Alot of my friends turbo'd there cars and i want to do the same. Im patiant and am willing to wait untill i fully understand wht im doing before jumping into a project of this poportion. I want o do this so any advice(good or bad) will help. I work in a garage and have alot of tools. I also have acess to hoists and alot of other useful tools like that. Im better off then some ppl doing it in there driveway..

[SpatialTerror]

well. you see theres a book called maximum boost.
its fairly cheap.
i know if i dont tell you to go get it.
everyone else will. haha
but im still reading it.
it helps alot.
you will be shocked.

[sciocchetti]
