turbo maitnence

what are thing you need to check/do when you have a turbo on your car. Like what you need to check every so often or things that you need to do to keep it running good.

On my turbo, I check the grammar and the spelling every time I drive! Oh wait, I don't have a turbo. But, to answer your question, you need a turbo timer to insure proper cooldown of the turbo, you need adequate fuel and also make sure that none of the oil lines are obstructed. The most important thing to turbo longevity is how well you take care in cooling it and not pushing the boost until it is properly warmed up. An intercooler is also a nice asset to a turbo setup, not only does it increase power, it reduces the overall engine temp.

Baby the turbo... It's the most expensive part of the "kit."
Be on top of the oil changes!

[drift]

just change your oil regularly and watch your engine temps. if properly and professionally installed, the turbo shouldn't add anymore maintenance to your motor

[kane2g]

do you need to add more oil when running a turbo? or is the 4quarts enough.

It doesnt change how much oil your car needs. It's still the amount of what it normally holds. It's just like without turbo....if you overfill it....that is never good.
