Re: questions regarding turbo ka

I've heard of the automatic slipping at 200whp. Don't count on it to hold more than 220whp. Make sure this "guy" knows what he's doing. Get details on the fuel system, lowered compression(how he plans on doing it), turbo type(specs would be nice), cams(if you get the wrong spec cams, you can actually lose power. Even if the cams have more lift and duration), and what boost controls come with your kit. Don't get screwed. What size oil lines is he running to the turbocharger? You need to run 3/16" I.D. or a -3an line unless you plan on running a restrictor. You need at least a 1/2" I.D. return line. You will be pulling the engine to put this kit on. I sure as hell wouldn't want to put the manifold and turbocharger on with the engine in the car much less route the oil line to the oil pan. Do yourself a favor and pull the engine. Do not try to drill the oil return without pulling the oil pan off.
