Installing my turbo kit Thursday morning jus wondering if u guys have some tips or anything that would save me time

Ill be running a zpi kit with aem fic

 

Follow the instruction step by step will save you a lot of time! If they have instructions for that kit. GL

 

clocking that turbo makes child birth look easier than microwaveable pop corn.
did u get the zpi piping?

 

torch if you have one for the oil pan!!!

 

just give up turboing the tc cant be done...




jk just make sure you have a good tuner you can avoid many of the frequent problems right there, and of course search SL youll find countless threads helping you out...
are you running an intercooler if so like speed said clocking is a pain, and youll fare much better if you have the piping (j pipe) already... if not than installs a breeze

 

watch the fuel injectors, if you rush it you may not seat an injector all the way. have a friend watch your intake manifold for fuel spray. use a touch of lube on the o-rings and grommits. oh and careful of the grommits, suckers may fall off while you take the stock injectors out. sometimes they stick to the head or to the injector or they fall in the intake manifold right were you cant reach the thing.

 

Take your time and just think everything through, save yourself the headaches later.

 

dont use teflon tape on oil lines!!!!

 

^^THIS.....Happened exactly to me when I was taking mine out but luckily we were able to get the grommet back, plus the o-rings on the injector clips somehow got turned around and we tried to get them to seat correctly but wouldnt have it so we just took em out and everything is perfect now! Good luck with the build, Also if you get frustrated with it cause somethings is not working, WALK AWAY!!! go do something to take your mind of it and when you come back things usually work out better and you find an easy solution for it.

 

Its a used kit so no clocking.. and I got the zpi downpipe
