Alright guys finally gonna boost the tC. I've got a 20g turbo with a 16g on the hot side, wastegate, bov, fmic I know I need a manifold and piping what else do I need to get? And does anyone have advice or a turbo lay out I can follow?

make sure u get larger injectors, some sort of fuel management, and a good tune if ur gonna run anymore than 5psi.

SokaltC

I forgot to list the injectors I do have those as well. And tips?

Mines an 06 or id take you up on that. Anyone know where to pick up a diagram so I can get the basic layout?

make sure u have a compression test and leakdown test before u install. other than that there really isnt any tips per say. u have all ur parts, just as long as its all pretty much bolt on, u should be good to go. all i can say is make sure ur using fresh gaskets, make sure ur oil drain line is straight as can be w/o any kinks or bends, take ur time, dont rush ur install, make sure all ur ic piping has beaded ends and ur couplers are tight. make sure ur tap ur drain for ur oil pan as high up as u can. make sure u have the proper tools to complete ur install.

That's for all the info. Ill be sure to keep the progress of it on here

download the dezod install instructions off the website and use those as a step by step. it's not going to be exactly the same as what you're doing but it really helps. i don't know if anyone else has instructions online i just know dezod does because i did that

SokaltC

That's exactly what I need just a basic lay out I've never boosted before I know some but its nice to check it against something

also, i put together my manifold, downpipe, turbo, and wastegate assembly and then just dropped the whole thing in the care at once. a lot easier than putting it together in your engine bay.

theres a lot of boosted tc's in socal, go on the regional forums and see if one of them will stop by and help out.

a 6 pack of beer goes a long way haha

SokaltC

Yeah putting it together prior to dropping it in was in my plans not a whole lot of room to work in the engine bay. I don't live in socal? Im in Michigan that's just my last name lol

^^^lol... putting it together outside of the bay may be a good idea, but it all depends on what ur setup is like. some may be difficult to fit in unless u take ur radiator out for some extra room. id say def mount the turbo to the mani before it goes in. u should have some room to snake the downpipe in depending on ur setup.

where at in michigan? i'm metro detroit

SokaltC

Same here macomb area.

And what do you think a good set up would be? Its a 20g turbo converted into a 20g with a big 16g hot side

emrules2001

Oil feed line, oil drain line, a tap for your oil pan or a tapped oil pan, a vacuum block comes in handy, vacuum line (of course), and I would run an AFR gauge and Boost gauge. Also, an oil change to 10w30 (10w40 if you can find it).

skinnayyy

what do you mean by set up? like blow through or pull through? you're more than welcome to check out my car.

i also have a build thread in the FI section too.

SokaltC

Where should I go to pick up these other parts? And just in general set up where should I mount the turbo where or how I should run the intercooler piping. Just any tips of the craft I suppose
