I have read the sticky's and a lot of threads about what a turbocharger does and its components and what things are but I have a question. I want to daily drive with a turbo but what are the most important things to know when getting turbo'd because I don't want to install it and forget I ever did and just drive.. what should i know?? lol

 

imho the most important thing to remember is keeping regular fluid changes and allowing the car to warm up b4 going ***** out. and yeah get some gauges...lol

 

tru tru, well what 3 gauges would you recommend because arent there quite a few different ones..

 

boost, wideband o2, oil pressure

 

Start off with a wideband Air/Fuel Mixture gauge and Boost gaug, those will be the most beneficial

 

yep, but i will say that an oil pressure gauge has saved my ars once and that was enough to pay for itself 10x over.

$120 for a triple gauge pod
$600 for aem boost, oil pressure, uego
cost of a saved engine PRICLESS

for everything els thers mastercard........hahaha

 

hes exactly right. ^

 

gotta have a wideband - the aem and autometer (the one i have) can be had on ebay for $225-260 As for other guages - obviousely a boost guage is a MUST lol and if u dont care about the guages matching a cheap one can be had for $20-30 and itll work just find - i found a used autometer to match my ultralite wideband for $35 on ebay Also for oil pressure - go electrical - you dont want an oil line ran into the car - again i found a used autometer electronic oil press guage (from the same guy) for $50 SO yea i got ll my guages for right around $300

 

not a bad price!

in other words shop around and find the gauges that suits you.......just aslong you get a wideband and boost that you can trust.

 

haha nicee.. gauges arent that expensive, anyways so gauges and regular fluid changes, got it... is there anything else that i should know on how to maintain a turbo

 

ya.. have fun and be safe lol
