turboing question

[integrags-r22]

Hey i have a 1997 that runs great and the engine looks great. i recently have just put a new clutch in and everything down in there is fine. the car has 120,000 miles on it and i was wondering if i would be ok to turbo it? i would only be running about 7 psi on it max.

and soon after the turbo i would start to build up the engine

do a compression and leakdown test to make sure everything is running strongly.

sorry i forgot to mention that, i got the leakdown and compresion test and everything checked out alright. i cant remember the numbers right now but they were all acceptable.

don't talk in PSI, talk in power numbers.....PSI on one turbo isn't the same for another turbo. For instance, on 9psi i make 275/194 on a T3T4E 60trim but w/ a K03 on 9psi i'd make about 200whp or less....see what i mean??

gotcha, i already have the whole kit planned out and i wanted to start getting parts together. I am going to get a garrett t3/t4 turbo its specs are:
57 Compressor wheel trim, .63 A/R turbine, .50 A/R Compressor.

that's a good turbo...now you just need to figure out the rest of the setup

let me know if you need any parts because i can get parts for B series for a good price...
