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??

I had never modefied the compression ratio and kept it high and ran 7psi boost on it sometimes. I didnt have any help and went on it by myself. My oil pressure was too high also. Intercooler is a must, i went cheap and didnt put one on. My setup would be pretty good for an intercooler because the piping would stay away from the engine and exhaust manifold. Sadly i have run out of money and the project is dead. I have taken it off of the car to spare the engines life.
mine had about 105k on it and my lower boot used to blow off sometimes when i ran it high.
I had a carbon fiber hood to put on my car but the turbo would get too hot in the summer and i was afraid it would ruin the hood. mine was an automatic too, i have heard that an automatic handles the turbo setup better but id like a manual anyways http://www.geocities.com/dustin_az/car.html -------------------- -97 Celica ST
