So if I run it at 8psi (going to be a daily driver) I shouldn’t have to reinforce any internals? If I get camshafts and gears would they help? (Ignoring pistons) what other things can I do to reinforce the engine for turbo or to get better performance out of it? Would they help at all or would they just be a waste (for my setup)? Would they be more effective if I ran 10psi? And what kind of engine management would be good for this setup and where can I get them? Also what is the difference between a normal exhaust (cat back) to a turbo exhaust (cat back)? Because my friend is telling me that I need to get a turbo exhaust for a turbo, didn’t make any sense to me. Would the Greddy turbo be suitable for what my needs are? will I need a more suitable radiator? or will the stock one do it? Thank You!
