Headers and Turbocharger

Post by DavidOS »

Is it worth the hassle?
Is it possible to do the piping without problems?
Is there any way to work around it easily or semi-easily?

i think he's asking if its easy to install a turbo and if its worth the time.
IMO forced induction is a big headache, but in the end its definitely worth it. The actual turbo install is relatively simple. Its the fuel problems that are the big headache.
If all I had to do was install a turbo, all my vehicles would be turboed. Its the fuel and computer things that scare the hell out of me.

I think fuel is the easy part. The hard part is plumbing all that exhaust and intake piping.

i agree with TSIMIATA i think its the exhaust plumbing thats the damn headache, fuel is easy if done right and you know what your doing, i've seen many probes turboed with only a walboro fuel pump and FMU everything else like injectors and such where stock
