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??

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