---Turbo---

first how easy or difficult is it to install a Turbo to your car i am willing to work or would i need to take it to a shop next, where could i find a decent good complete turbo kit for about $600 to 800 thanks

dunno about the install, but from waht I've read, searched, and seen a good turbo runs over $4,000.

sorry bud, but you wont find a kit for less that $3000. if you go custom, its still gonna cost you $1500-$2000. hell the turbo itself cost almost $600

it sound like u r in the same position that i was in, want the turbo but also the money in ur pocket. i just bought everything separate, used of course, and i only spend $800 and that got me everything that i need from the turbo to the oil lines. once again, EVERYTHING!!! and guess what it works so im fine wit it.

o and i dont kno how good u r under the hood but puttin it together i found wasnt that hard, im sure many people r goin to argue with me but i really didnt think it was that hard, it just took some time.

Ive installed several home made turbo's on a couple cars. Yhe hardest thing I always have is figuring out where all the wires go, and tunig the ECU.

what are you using to control you boost? do you have gauges? how did you tune the car?

im only running 6 psi so i didnt bother with changin the fuel pump or injectors or anything. and that $800 got me Autometer gauges along with a 1g bov and custom manual boost controller. when i actually get some money to spend then i will prolly built up my engine and shit and run like 15-20psi.

no tuning at all? man youve got to be running rich

Better rich than lean right?

i guess if you want to look at it that way. either performance drop off or destroyed engine. but with you running rich, isnt that taking away any performance gains that you got with the turbo?
oh yeah, you intercooled?

Its his car. Doesnt bother me any.

2 question--Is Garrett a Good Brand Turbo? and what are the parts i will need to piece a turbo together obviously i dont have $3000-4000
and i want it at 6psi on my stock internals thats not to much without changing the fuelpump or injectors will it run safe with out overheating i know i need to get a intercooler lader on

Fast, Cheap, Reliable...pick 2.

Those of you half-assing your setups will be on here in a month asking what the white smoke coming out of your exhaust is.

Garrett is a good brand, if you researched mitsubishi, they have good turbos too , but if you saw the prices you probably turned and ran away

i agree though don't half-ass it i think i'm going w/ a 1g when i wanna get my turbo kicks those are pretty easy to mod and all my friends know the ins and outs of putting new parts on them

i am runnin 91 octane and so far so good.

garrett is one of the top brand names of turbos

yeah, a 1G is quite a little car. especially the GSX.

the GSX is a 2G not a 1G

i dont know... my friend has a AWD 1G, and im pretty sure its a GSX. maybe they were called something else then. either way i dont care, if im wrong, im wrong. his car is f'n fast!

thats a talon. it looks alot like the 2g eclipse

I beg to differ. here are the specs for the 1st gen GSX http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/Spec_Glance.aspx?modelid=2086&trimid=-1&src=VIP&tab=2&sub=0

yea they was a 1G GSX my friend has one also.

my bad

Its all good. We all have our moments.

brain freeze

you know what, we should start an 8 page thread debating the existance of a GSX.....like that mustang thread..... j/k

Hell Im gonna be selling me 2001 Eclipse, and buying a 1991 Talon TSI AWD come this summer. Im tired of being slow w/o putting alot of money into my car. Besides I think it looks alot better, and insurance is cheper! Yeah a gold and black TSI is gonna be nice.
