Question about turbo chargers

[XShadowZxX]

I have a question if you buy a turbo kit you can always upgrade the turbocharger, intercooler, BOV right ???

I think you can change the BOV im not too sure if u can change the turbocharger or intercooler tho.

[ice3186]

yea you can upgrade it to anyuthing that will fit your housing but you have to tear the housing apart to do it. BOV are easy to replace so i hear from my guys, and intercoolers well yea if you want.

Yes, you can upgrade the turbo, intercooler, and BOV. The only problems you might run into are having to buy new piping, oil and or cooling lines, clearance issues, and possible custom flanges.

Aite thanks guys i did hear u can change the turbine and stuff but id like to change the turbocharger and possibly get a bigger one but you'll need bigger housings.

What kind of car are you planning on doing this to?

IS300

BTW what happens if water enters the intercooler like in rainydays or when im driving behind some guy when its raining...???

[Sluttypatton]

Water should not be able to enter the intercooler. In order for water to enter the intercooler it would need to go through the air filter, through any piping you have, into the compressor, through more piping, and then into the intercooler. The intercooler is sealed to the atmosphere, if it wasn't your system would leak boost. If by entering the intercooler, you mean passing through the core along with regular cooling air, water wont do any harm.

Ohh ok thanks i thought an intercooler was just a rectangle metal air sucking thing that doesnt have a filter.

Do you want to upgrade the wastegate or the BOV ??? Ive noticed alot of people getting the two mixed up. They are seperate parts that do totally do seperate things
