im new to turbo kits and the whole setup but by reading the forums i think im gonna be getting a turbotoyotas kit when i save up enough money. But my main question is after installing the kit and everything that goes along with it what should be done to maintain the kit and the cars life itself.

 

change the oil, keep an eye on vac hoses and charge pipe couplers, thats about it

 

change oil every 2500 miles, check your hoses and couplers every so often.... keep tabs on your gauge readings to make sure everything stays in the ordinary... and don't beat on your car every single time you drive it. also, make SURE you have a good tune.

 

^^^ i live an hr from jacksonville what r some good shops around there to get everything done? o yea and how long are turbos usually supposed to last

 

as long as your car if you take care of it, hotstops will kill it so either get a turbo timer or let the car run a minute before you turn it off

long as you have good oil in there and dont hotstop or beat the crap out of it 24/7 it will last a long time
