Installed the turbo this weekend!!
Monday, May 21, 2007 9:13 PM
Well I finally put the turbo in. I got most of it done Sat. It took all day and some. I got it reflashed today. I'll post up pictures and possibly a Video asap. It feels very strong. Boost is Freakin awesome!!! I"m runnin about 6 lbs right now. I'm still kinda afraid to stomp on it the whole way. I want to break it in slowwly.

I might get to the track Wed. Just to get a baseline :-)

I'm not that active anymore on here, but I figured I would let everyone know anyway.

Holy @!#$ this thing is fun! The Reflash is runnin beautifully. I was a little worried at first, but the A/F is right where I want it!

I'm going to the track tomorrow to get a baseline with the turbo.

Quick question...How many psi will this thing take before... it goes boom? Reason being my friend just got a 98 Camaro with the LS1. I know there exremely fast, but I will do everything in my power to atleast stay beside him!!! lol

I LOVE BOOST!!!!!

I'll seeya at the track 2morrow Chris!

Later on

you can go around 250whp safely. what size is the turbo? take it up to 8 for sure.



I want to share something with you - the three sentences that will get you through life. Number one, 'cover for me', Number two, 'oh, good idea, boss', Number three, 'it was like that when I got here.'

Thanks guys

The Turbo is a TD04 off a Saab 9-3. Actually It is the same kit brandonson had on his car. I bought it from him. So I'm shooting for 13's!!!

I have an Aeromotive AFPR. If I crank the boost up a little should I change the base fuel pressure? Or let it go as long as the A/F is good?

I'll try to get a vid at the track. Last night I popped the hood and I guess I ran it a little too hard and the manifold was cherry red. I mean like... Glowing red. I let it cool off for about 5 minutes before I shut her down. It still ran fine this morning.

I am Addicted!!!
