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??

he is probably looking to run 12+psi or for more reliability at 10-psi 8psi is just fine for the car, if you have the right supporting mods which i didnt, $90 fuel pump, i waited to buy mine, waited until the engine died(melted piston) my setup is now forkee's setup. i ran 8psi for 6k miles and not until i put the new turbo on and the boost was set at 10psi(didnt mean to) did my stock pump give out causing the damage. i looked inside my engine, everything was still good except the one piston. at 8psi i was faster than a rsx type s from a roll(he blew by me and cut me off so i caught him and passed him) the type s has 200hp and 140?tq or something like that, the torque may be low, but from a roll it doesnt matter much at all. they can run high 14's, and from a roll, you easily get high 14's acceleration out of those cars. and the ST-T was faster than my WRX, which would get off the line faster, but the way i launched my ST-T, it was at full boost before it even moved! incase some dont know, my ST-T was automatic my car was faster than 99-04 mustang gt's that were at most only had exhaust and intake(any more than that and GT's make a lot more power) the ST-T is a very fun car that still got me good milage, like 25mpg. had i changed the fuel pump from the get go, i would still be driving the car and be looking into mods that ad reliability(thicker HG) oh and i never got the chance to dyno tune the car, all that performance i got was before i installed the FMIC that forkee now has, i was running a DSM SMIC. i was waiting till i got the FMIC in to go to a dyno, but my 7afte came to a oil burning end, luckily my warranty covered all the repair costs, lol got a new shortblock for $0 -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition
