Re: help!!

In order to do it properly you need to upgrade the engines internals. I don't have a turbo but if you boost to hard on the stock **** you will blow your motor. That's all I can tell you. Hopefully someone that has a turbo can tell you more. Oh and you need an intercooler and a new cam as well which since it's Egay I'm guessing will not be included in the kit. That is the full extent of my knowledge (or lack thereof).

Don't bump your thread after 2 hours. People view your thread but may not know what the answer could be and then leave without a reply.

Not everyone is a super-genius on here and can answer every single question.
Relax and you'll find what you're looking for soon enough.

EBAY turbo = FAIL

Give me shout when you want to do it right with real parts.
