did you upgrade ur internals? if you had any mechanical problemss? install it urself? thanks man
Yeah, I am only on the forums late at night as you probably are too. Work + school sucks.
Anyways, I did have to buy the blow off valve and get that welded on. But otherwise, assuming you buy the kit with the intercooler, it is very complete and completely bolt on. I installed it myself in about 12 hours and didn't encounter any problems during or after the install with the turbo components themselves, just my engine. I really needed to replace the rings since I was covering the person behind me with smoke and soot everytime I floored it. I didn't care for the engine management that Greddy provided, so I bought a Greddy E-manage. It isn't the best, but it works for my purpose. I am boosting on stock internals at 8 psi and I haven't encountered any detonation whatsoever since my fuel curves are very conservative. If you want HP, turbo is the way to go. I don't regret the decision to install the turbo at all. If you have the money and know what you are getting into, go for it.
