Dream Turbo Setup
Hi,
Based of the SF Turbo kit, what else would you put in your car to have a top of the line setup?
SF Upgrade Options?
Internals? ........ Pistons/Rods/Block ????
Gauges/Boost controller/Turbo timer/Ignition/Plugs/ECU ????
Clutch/Flywheel/LSD/Suspension ????
If you have a $ 5000 Budget for all this, how would you go about it?

Rep Power: 0 Yeah Labor charges in America are VERY high. Fortunately, where I live (Pakistan), Labor charges is the last thing we think of. Normally what we pay here for an engine overhaul is like $50 or $100 tops if its a big engine. So no worry there !!!
So lets say excluding Labor charges and also the $1000 block, wat else would one go for?

doesn't have too cost that much..shoop around
:cough; Ebay:cough;
manual or electric boost controller..( kinida optional)
clutch is a must
light flywheel would be hella nice ( less rotational mass just like wheels along with pulleys)
emange is you have the funds... AFC and bigger injectors on a budget.
my $.02

Rep Power: 584 new brakes are not all that necessary to get a turbo up and running
boost controller i do find necessary (electric)
clutch is a must a stock one will go shortly after install of turbo
flywheel is not necessary
some sort of fuel management, emanage is excellent
the AFCs are ok but dont give u as many options as the emanage
if ur cost cutting u dont really have to have any guages as long as u have an electric boost controller to tell ur boost
turbo timer u dont have to have just sit there and let the car cool down before shutting it off
ignition, just leave alone, ignition solutions makes something, just get colder spark plugs 15-18 for a set of ngk
ECU just leave it alone
dont worry about LSD
or suspension if on budget
ull need exhaust fo sho

Rep Power: 312 Stainless equal length manifold
Custom T3 w/ 56mm compressor wheel
Candy Blue powdercoated piping
31" core intercooler
3" cold air intake (to turbo)
Polished alcohol injection canister
Jettable Alcohol injection
Dual stage boost controller
3" downpipe
Turbo xs RFL bov
I see 7 psi at 2300 rpm with this setup. The compressor/exhaust combonation is INSANE! there are only 3 of these turbos in existence, and we have all of them! They are custom made just for us.
