Well allow me to rephrase my prior statement. In terms of
modifications to the motor you don't really need to add anything.
Here's a decent list of pre-install things to take care of:
- Make sure ALL maintenance is current (hoses, belts, timing belt, water pump, brake pads, tires, etc.)
- If not new or nearly new, then new fuel filter (regardless of #1)
- oil change and new filter will happen with turbo install,
start using premium gas now
- Compression and leak-down tests have already been done, right?
- as "lean" a coolant mix as you can stand (flush coolant system, see #1)
- Redline water wetter and a good water pump lube/anti-corrosive
- new thermostat
- new radiator cap
- new 1 heat range colder NGK plugs
- new NGK plug wires
- spray penetrating oil on nuts and bolts that will need to be removed
