Scenario: I want to turbo my engine, I do not know if my engine can handle it. it has 130,000miles on it.
What are the ways to find out? Leak down test? Compression test? are these good ones, are there more? I have searched.
those are both good ways to test the condition of your motor. also does it have any oil leaks, i would fix up everything on the engine before turboing it. thats just what i would do tho. have fun bro
turbo guide has some useful info…i think its stickied at the top of the forum
I would (actually i did):
Fix any leaks
Replace any worn belts/hoses
Flush the radiatior
New Timing Belt, tensioner and water pump
New clutch
Check compression
