waiting to install my turbo

[supercivician]

I don't have the tools, but I would be up to drive down and help out. I go to Newburgh all the time for business. It's like a 1.5hr dirve for me.

Seriously, save yourself the $1K fee for installation. That's alittle too much. I really do hope you have another car to putts around to go to work and stuff. If you can afford the wait, I think it will be wiser (and good for the wallet) to see what is a good day for like 3 ephatchers to give you a hand. Like jeenyusss said in his DIY stickie... prep is key. If you have the oil pan all set and ready to go it's pretty much like a jigsaw puzzle.

I am planning to do the Revhard kit... just waiting for the wife to let me pull the trigger and purchase. for $4k... gotta have the wife's permission... but this would be a great learning experience for myself for when I do the install with 3 of my buddies.

And just think about this... $500 for the tune from 1320. i don't know if they are any good. But for $600 you can have EvanTuning do it, and you'll know your getting QUALITY. That's $900 in your pocket... you I hear a clutch combo purchase?....

i hear you...who doesnt want to save money. i just want to get this done and over with. im a little tire of looking at the boxes and turbo sitting in my living room. also i dont think anyone here has a welder or know how to use a welder. i know that 900 can get me clutch and flywheel. or new struts and alarm system that i need really bad. but if that 900 bucks can guaranty me a sucessful installation(it's going to be sucessful because they do it all the time) then i just pay that amount. evantuning is nice but i have a feeling that they going to charge me mis. fee after done tuning. idk

[jeenyusss]

i thought i dont need the a2 oil pump swap

[supercivician]

what is the highest and safest psi that i can run without blowing the engine

[jeenyusss]

i say nothing higher then 10, some people might tell you 12

[supercivician]

if the kit only get about 250-270whp then why do people say they are making close to 300whp or even more at 10psi

i thought i dont need the a2 oil pump swap

u dont, ur valve train would need to be upgraded aswell to go past 7700rpm on a regular basis

ummmmm still good! i like those numbers!

[playap07]

with the same kit on 12psi and the gm 3bar map sensor my buddy made 324whp and 280wtq

is his motor stock? is it still living?

[shadowmd]

its all in the tune bro. find a good tuner and u can make some NICE power. and as far as the gm 3bar map sensor. the shop should be able to get ur a new map sensor. the stock on is only good til 10psi. the only prob. is that once u get tuned on the stock map sensor and wanna switch to the 3bar. u will need a completely new tune. the old tune will be useless.

my buddy is runnin 12psi all day and no problems...again he is makin 324whp and 280wtq....its NICE!
