hey everyone. ive been thinking about putting a turbo on my tC after the warranty is up and i really dont know much about turbo chargers could any you you give me any tips or suggestions.
here is what i do know from past experience r from here.

*turbos work off the exaust. forces air into the throttlebody/intake manifold
*i need some kind of fuel management ecu
*bigger injectors

thats about all i know can any one help with some suggestion or tips

 

Honestly we could have a 100 page thread on turbocharging and everything still wouldn't be covered. If you have not read the book Maximum Boost written by Corkey Bell let me be the first to recommend it to you. read it once, when you are done read it a second time and take note of the equations he uses. After the second time you will have a MUCH greater understanding of turbochargers. Not being a d!ck here just being honest. Most turbo guys consider this book the bible on turbocharging.

 

really, theres a turbo bible? is it a butt load of pages or is it soemthing i could finish it in a weekend? ill look it up thanks

 

its several hundred pages with diagrams, pictures, equations for calculating pressure ratio, injector requirements, manifold design, you name it. It really is the turbo bible. In the 8 years I've been playing with turbos and reading data on stuff there is not a single other book I have found that is as detailed and comprehensive. I'm not kidding when I tell you I have a copy in my nightstand, office desk at work, and office at home. I don't know how many times I've referenced that book.
