I am about to start peicing my turbo kit together and was thinking how my motor with 165,000 miles on it will handle the boost? If not what should i do? If it is what new parts should i get?
first off, read the turbo guide if you havent already…in fact read it a few times (i think im on my 8th time)…in there i believe it says to do a compression test and a leakdown to diagnose how healthly your engine is…then you can go from there whether you want to boost or rebuild and then boost…you can get plenty of aftermarket parts to build a strong engine but it depends on where you want to go…im planning to rebuild an ls with oem almost everything but im not building a race car either…just a daily on 8psi with a mbc for those times at the track i want to raise it to 10…but enough about me build your turbo and have those bov dreams!!!
