Before you guys put on your turbo kits, what things did you do to your engines to keep running safely. I'm seriously considering turboing my car at 4-6PSI regularly and occasionlly using an 8PSI as a high boost. What kinds precations should I take for this boost level??

Just keep it up to date maintance wise; make sure everything's always running smoothly.. etc.. Thats not a very high boost level; you should be fine.

6 months?? tongue.gif Taking your sweet time. I expect to start at latest December 12th, and finish, at latest, July 20th. But in all reality, it'll probably be done in one weekend before the 12th sometime

Nik, looking nice.. Engine dressing kit might be a little too much without custom paint on the manifolds and stuff. ct26 turbo? No intercooler?

Ahh, you do have a FMIC, my mistake smile.gif Nice job avoiding the heat from the exhaust manifold after the FMIC btw

I also hear that if you have the BOV right after the intercooler exit, it sounds cooler.. dont know about that...

every now and then it SHOULD be fine. I'm not sure running 8 psi all the time- depends on the condition of your engine

Any of the 7afte guys know? I'm a 5sfe man myself smile.gif

strongly agreed, check the connections (nuts, bolts, etc) and check oil level at least once a week and you will be fine. Ignore the simple things and itll eventually tear ur turbo and/or engine apart. tongue.gif

Forkee, those don't work that well- and it still won't show your hp because your acceleration etc is based off the cars weight, aerodynamics, etc.

Nothing beats a good dynotune
